Explore its ramparts, towers, and courtyards, imagining the lives of the soldiers and guards who once stood watch over Granada. From its strategic vantage point, enjoy panoramic views of the city, the Sierra Nevada mountains, and the fertile plains stretching to the horizon.

A visit to the Alcazaba offers a unique glimpse into Granada's military history and a breathtaking perspective on its stunning landscape.

Stroll through meticulously landscaped gardens filled with fragrant flowers, serene courtyards, and gently flowing fountains.
