Alcazaba de Antequera
The Alcazaba of Antequera is a Moorish fortress in Antequera, Spain. It was erected over Roman ruins in the 14th century to counter the Christian advance from the north.Our Antequera trip itinerary planner makes visiting Alcazaba de Antequera and other Antequera attractions simple, and helps you make a travel plan personal to you.
The fortress is rectangular in shape, with two towers. Its keep (Spanish: Torre del homenaje, 15th century) is considered amongst the largest of al-Andalus, with the exception of the Comares Tower of the Alhambra.
It is surmounted by a Catholic bell tower/chapel (Templete del Papabellotas) added in 1582.
Connected to the former by a line of walls is the Torre Blanca ("white tower").

A fine visit. Not that much to see but interesting history. The castle route is well thought out. The view is awesome though.
