An Andalusi palace-fortress on the slope of Mount Gibralfaro, built over a Phoenician-Punic stronghold. The present complex was begun in the 11th century and reworked up to the 14th; a walled corridor joins it to the castle on the summit. Its enclosures are open to visitors, though less than half of the original extent survives.

We count visits ourselves, with no cookies and nothing stored on your device. To count people rather than clicks, we keep a one-way code derived from your connection and browser for at most 48 hours and then delete it; what remains is totals per page that identify no one. We never store your IP. We also use Plausible, analytics hosted in the European Union that likewise sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device, to learn which sites send readers here and how many searches are run, never what is searched for.
