Alcazaba
Against the hillside of the mount of Gibralfaro, it was constructed in the XI century on the ruins of another Roman bastion. It consisted of 110 main towers and some smaller ones. The Torre del Homenaje deserves special attention. The three concentric walls that encircle it constitute the main feature, conferring a military characteristic of maximum security among the other similar constructions of the Muslim Spain.

Gibralfaro Castle
As a famous lookout post, we can consider it related to the origins of Málaga as a human settling. It must have already existed previous to the Roman dominance, but the Arabs gave it a structure of strength. The mount received the name of " Jabal-Faruk " (lighthouse mountain), from where it is said its current name comes. In the first half of the XIV century, Yusuf Y built the castle and other outbuilings. The Catholic Kings choose the Castle of Gibralfaro for the coat of arms they gave the city in 1494.
