The Alcazaba in Malaga
An 'alcazaba' (from the
Arabic for citadel ''al-qasbah'', القصبة) is a
Moorish fortification in
Spain. The word derives from the Arabic word
Al-casbah,
[1] a walled-fortification in a city.
Alcazabas remain in
AlmerÃa (the largest),
Antequera,
Badajoz,
Granada,
Guadix,
Málaga and
Mérida. The alcazaba in Granada is the oldest portion of
Alhambra.
The word alcazaba can be confused with ''
alcázar'', which has its
etymology in the Arabic ''al-qasr'', which denotes a
castle.
