Patio de la Alberca, Nasrid Palace, Alcazaba de Malaga, Malaga, Andalucia, Spain, Western Europe. The citadel of Malaga is a palatial fortification from the Islamic period, built on a previous fortification of Phoenician-Punic origin. It is located on the slopes of Mount Gibralfaro, in a high position but contiguous and linked to the historic center of the city, which constituted the old Madina of Mālaqa, and at the top of which is the Gibralfaro Castle. It occupied the eastern end of the missing walled enclosure of the city, so that the southern, western and northern fronts were within the walls. Its current area of 15, 000 square meters is not even half the size it was in its heyday, as the preserved historical plans show. According to the restoration architect, Leopoldo Torres Balbás, the Alcazaba of Málaga is the prototype of the military architecture of the Taifa period, 11th century, with its double walled enclosure and large number of fortifications, its only parallel being the Crac de los Caballeros castle, fortress built in Syria by the Crusaders between the 12th and 13th centuries
