Alcazaba of Antequera

The Monumental Complex of the Alcazaba of Antequera was declared a Site of Cultural Interest in 1985.

 

With Roman origins, the current structure takes us back to the Andalusian period. The construction has undergone significant transformations due to the presence of different cultures. It was an impregnable site that notably contained the Christian advance until the 14th century.

 

Its Tower of Homage stands out, crowned by the so-called Papabellotas Clock. It is so named because the city had to sell an oak grove to cover the different expenses.
