It was built by the Hammudid dynasty in the early 11th century. This is the best-preserved alcazaba (from the Arabic al-qasbah, \u0642\u0635\u0628\u0629, meaning \"citadel\") in Spain. Adjacent to the entrance of the Alcazaba are ruins of a Roman theatre dating to the 1st century BC, which are undergoing restoration. Some of the Roman era materials were reused in the Moorish construction of the Alcazaba."@en . "The Alcazaba is a palatial fortification in M\u00E1laga, Spain.

Ferdinand and Isabella captured M\u0101laqa from the Moors after the Siege of M\u00E1laga (1487), one of the longest sieges in the Reconquista, and raised their standard at the \"Torre del Homenaje\" in the inner citadel. According to architect restorer, Leopoldo Torres Balb\u00E1s, the Alcazaba of M\u00E1laga is the prototype of military architecture in the Taifa period, with its double walled and many fortifications. Its only parallel is the castle of Krak des Chevaliers in Syria."@en . . .
