Alcazaba

The Alcazaba is a historic fortress or fortress complex built during the Islamic period in Spain, typically serving as a defensive stronghold within a city. It features thick walls, towers, and courtyards, offering protection and a strategic vantage point. Often part of larger palaces or city fortifications, the Alcazaba also served as a residence for rulers or military leaders and as a symbol of power and Islamic architecture. Today, many Alcazabas are preserved as cultural heritage sites, offering insight into medieval Moorish architecture and history.
