After the capture of Almería on 26 December 1489, the Catholic Monarchs had a castle built at the westernmost and highest end of the Alcazaba, where an alcázar had stood, adapted to artillery. Work began in 1490 and ended in 1534, in the reign of Carlos I. It is arranged around a parade ground, with the Homenaje, Noria and Pólvora towers and a moat; it is the most modern part of the complex and can be visited inside the Alcazaba.
