It was built on the slopes of the Gibralfaro mountain where there were already some Phoenician-Punic remains. This position was a very strategic defence point of the city.

Today, the Alcazaba of Málaga has an area of 15.000 square metres.  It was built by the Muslims during their occupation of the Iberian Peninsula during the Middle Ages.
