Alora Moorish castle

Located in the Cerro de las Torres. From the outsiden of the castle you can enjoy extraordinary views of the Guadalhorce Valley. The castle was declared a national monument in 1931. It was built by the Arabs during the Middle Ages, although its origins are Phoenician and Roman. It was built in several stages. During the Emirate, the most solid. Over the Caliphate, the elevation of the building. During the Taifa Kingdoms, the most fragile. The tower entrance door leading into the walled enclosure, which is accessed by a horseshoe arch, the one in the West.
