Spanish Fortress [Cinematic] - Alcazaba of Antequera (Drone Footage)
This Drone Footage Video captures the roman build citadel, Alcazaba of Antequera.
Antequera's Alcazaba Fortress was Originally part of a Roman citadel. It has been has been an important fortress for and community centre for well over 8000 years as can be appreciated from the Dolmen structures situated just 2km away.
Excavations around the hill containing the fortress show several Roman ruins that are under investigation, including tombs and the Roman baths.
During the Visigothic era some of the Roman walls were modified, but little of the Visigothic period remain that is visible to the eye. In the 11th century Antequera became a minor caliphate (taifa) and the beginnings of the current Alcazaba were started, including the overall geometry.
By the 14th century however Christian advances from the North had reduced Al-Andalus to little more than a rump state with Antequera, Ronda, and Almeria defending her borders from encroachment. To this end, Antequera assumed an importance beyond her economic value to the Kingdom of Granada, and the Alcazaba was rebuilt and strengthened, including the addition of towers and extensions to protect access to the river below the fortress.

La Puerta de Málaga, Alcazaba de Antequera. Ermita de la Virgen de Espera.
En el barrio de San Juan y a los pies de la Alcazaba de Antequera se encuentra uno de los monumentos menos conocidos de Antequera, La Puerta de Málaga su importancia durante el periodo musulmán en la península Ibérica fue fundamental ya que se defendía el paso hacia Málaga por la zona Sur del Torcal de Antequera. Estaba conectada con la Torre vigía de Hacho y esta a su vez con la del Camorro alto, en el Torcal de Antequera que a su vez se conectaba con el castillo de Jevar y Torre Zambra en la frontera de Casabermeja con Antequera. A través de La Puerta de Málaga se inicio la huida del ejercito moro hacia el Torcal en la reconquista cristiana de la Medina de Antequera. Durante siglos después de la caída de la Alcazaba de Antequera, La Puerta de Málaga fue presidida por una gran Cruz en mármol Blanco.
Esta Torre es del tipo de pasadizo en recodo. En su frente tiene un gran arco de herradura de ladrillo, con alfiz rehundido, creando el típico nicho de compartimentación espacial de la arquitectura nazarí. La organización interior de la torre fue muy trastocada cuando se convirtió en ermita. En la actualidad se ha devuelto a su estado original, aunque se haya mantenido el retablito y el lienzo de la Virgen de Espera.
Antequera, Spain - historic & beautiful Old Town area
Antequera is one of the Pueblos Blancos (White Towns / Villages) of the southern region of Spain known as Andalusia. What a charmer this town was and we had an absolutely wonderful time.
I've created 2 videos - this one focuses on the area known as the old town of Antequera. The other video focuses on the stunning fortress high up on the hill, known as The Alcazaba, overlooking the town.
As always, Ed does the majority of the video filming, along with the narrations you hear, while I do pretty much all of the still images you'll see. Then I also edit everything, add music, etc. and upload the final video here on You Tube.
The music you hear playing in the background came from the Free (authorized) You Tube music library: by

Antequera is a city and municipality in the Comarca de Antequera, province of Málaga, part of the Spanish autonomous community of Andalusia. Antequera is known as the heart of Andalusia (el corazón de Andalucía) because of its central location among Málaga, Granada, Córdoba, and Seville. The Antequera Dolmens Site is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Antequera is located 45 km from Málaga and 115 km from Córdoba. The cities are connected by a high speed train and the A-45 motorway. Antequera is 160 km from Seville and 102 km from Granada, which is connected by motorway A-92 and in the near future, by the high-speed Transverse Axis Rail.
Due to its strategic position in transport communications, with four airports located approximately one hour away and the railway running from the Port of Algeciras, Antequera is emerging as an important centre of transportation logistics, with several industrial parks, and the new Logistics Centre of Andalusia (Centro Logístico de Andalucía). In addition, the Vega de Antequera, watered by the river Guadalhorce, is a fertile agricultural area that provides cereals, olive oil, and vegetables in abundance.
The nearby natural reserve of El Torcal, famous for its unstable limestone rocks, forms one of the most important karst landscapes in Europe. Antequera has an extensive archaeological and architectural heritage, highlighted by the dolmens of Menga, Viera, and El Romeral, and numerous churches, convents, and palaces from different periods and in different styles. Antequera played a role in the rise of Andalusian nationalism. Antequera was the site of the drafting of the Federal Constitution of Antequera in 1883, and also of the so-called Pact of Antequera Autonomy in 1978, which led to the achievement of autonomy for Andalusia. Antequera was considered as a possible headquarters of the Andalusian government, but lost the vote in favor of Seville.

ANTEQUERA, SPAIN - travel shorts
Antequera is hugely rich in history, culture and heritage, and inhabited since the Bronze Age, there are some amazing monuments to be found everywhere: tombs which date back to 2,500 BC, the national park of El Torcal with its unique limestone formations, Roman baths, Baroque churches and Renaissance palaces and a 13th Century Moorish castle, remain to pay tribute to the strategic importance of Antequera in days gone by.
The town, and to the north the fertile plains of the valley, are overlooked by an almost vertical, 800 metre high, limestone rock, La Peña de los Enamorados, The Lovers' Rock, where local legend has it that two young lovers, a Christian man and a Moorish woman, jumped to their death rather than deny their forbidden love
Antequera is commonly known as the 'crossroads of Andalucia' because of it's excellent location in the heart of the region. With excellent forms of communication by road, air and most recently high speed train it allows fast and easy connections locally, nationally and internationally. Located in the province of Malaga and on the motorway junction of the A92 and A45 the main cities of Andalucia, Sevilla, Granada, Cordoba and Malaga are not far away. The airports of Malaga and Granada are within 50 minutes of the town and with the addition of a new high speed train link in Santa Ana the capital of Madrid is now within easy reach.
