Malaga is a city that reflects the passage of two great civilisations that deeply marked its history and character: the Romans and the Muslims. This guided experience will take you to discover the most emblematic vestiges of these cultures, exploring monuments that narrate the evolution of the city over the centuries.
The tour begins at the impressive Roman Theatre, a living testimony to the imperial era. Built in the 1st century under Caesar Augustus, this theatre remained hidden for centuries until its discovery in the 20th century. During the visit, we will explore not only its structure, which includes the cavea, the orchestra and the proscaenium, but also the Interpretation Centre, a space dedicated to contextualising its history. Here, we will learn about the cultural and social life of Roman Malaga, a city that flourished as an important commercial and cultural enclave in Hispania.
From the Roman Theatre, we will move on to the Alcazaba, an architectural jewel built during the period of the Taifa kingdoms in the 11th century. This fortified complex is one of the finest examples of Andalusian military architecture and a prelude to what would become the grandeur of the Alhambra in Granada. During the visit, we will enter its walls, courtyards and towers, discovering how the Alcazaba not only fulfilled a defensive function, but was also a residential space.
One of the highlights will be the Patio de Armas, a place that the Catholic Monarchs used as a base after the conquest of the city in 1487. This space, surrounded by imposing walls, today houses a magnificent Andalusian garden that combines traditional elements of landscape design with the serenity of fountains and vegetation typical of the period.
The visit continues to the Cuartos de Granada, a section of the Alcazaba that served as a residence for governors and monarchs when they visited Malaga. This space, with its intimate layout and architectural details, reflects the cultural richness and refinement of palace life in al-Andalus.
Finally, the top of the Alcazaba offers spectacular views of the city. From this privileged point, we can admire the port, the sea and the urban fabric of Malaga, all framed by the contrast between the blue of the Mediterranean and the white of its historic buildings. It is the ideal place to contemplate how past and present intertwine in this unique city.
