Alcazaba and Roman Theatre Tour
Two millennia in just one place
The essentials
- Visit the Roman Theatre and the Alcazaba with a private guide and get to know two of the most fascinating civilisations in history.
- Two hours (and some more), so you can take the tour at your own pace, with time to contemplate the monuments and take some pictures comfortably.
- Tickets included
A Roman theatre at the foot of a Moorish fortification.
This is certainly a good example of the importance of our city over the centuries, don’t you think?
The Roman Theatre is the first stop in this tour, more specifically its interpretation centre.
Here we will dive right into Malacca to find out what life was like in the times of the Roman Empire.
We will visit the different rooms and tell you the incredible story of how the Roman theatre was unexpectedly brought to light in 1951.
You’ll be amazed!
Then we will leave the Empire to travel down a few centuries and stand at the foot of one of the best-preserved Muslim fortresses in Spain: the Málaga Alcazaba.
We’ll tour it from top to bottom: explore its defence towers, dungeons, gardens, balconies and palaces.
Because this fortress was also a palace, by the way.
It was built in 1057 by order of King Badis of Granada, and there it is, still standing today.
We don’t want to tell you too much in advance, but you should know that it was here that the Catholic Monarchs culminated the conquest of Málaga in 1487.
It was on 19 August (a hot day, we imagine), which we commemorate today with a daytime and a night-time festival.
Is that all there is to it?
No way! There is much more.
You’ll also find out the unusual popular district of La Coracha or the role of the researcher Juan Temboury in the current appearance of the building, among other things.
