Guided tour of the Alcazaba in English

Embark on a fascinating journey through the Alcazaba of Almería. This guided tour will reveal the history, architecture, and layout of this imposing fortress.


  • The Alcazaba of Almería is the second largest Muslim construction in Spain, just after the Alhambra of Granada.
  • Travel back in time in an urban oasis: Unlike other monuments, here you will walk between the walls of a real military citadel that housed its own population, walking the same corridors as Andalusian kings and rulers 1000 years ago.
  • Witness the fusion of two worlds: Admire how the history of Al-Andalus blends with the Christian reconquest, observing the impressive architectural transition between the elegant Muslim palace and the imposing sobriety of the Christian castle.

On the programme

This guided tour of the Alcazaba of Almería is designed to offer a complete immersion in the history, architecture, and organization of the largest Arab fortress built in a single operation in Spain. During the tour, participants will explore the two Muslim enclosures and the Christian enclosure with a specialized official guide, gaining an understanding of the architectural transition and the strategic use of this military citadel throughout the centuries.

The tour includes the official guide throughout the visit and entrance fees to the monument. It does not include transportation to the meeting point, located at bus stop number 1 at the foot of the Alcazaba, just before the first steps leading up to the entrance, nor does it include food or drinks. Participants are advised to wear comfortable shoes suitable for walking on cobblestones, and to bring sun protection and water, especially during the warmer months.
