Alcazaba of Málaga


An alcazaba (Spanish: [alkaˈθaβa], Galician: [alkaˈθaβa]), alcáçova (Portuguese: [ɐɫˈkasuvɐ]) or alcassaba (Catalan: [əlkəˈsaβə]) is a Moorish fortification in Spain and Portugal. The word derives from the Arabic word القصبة (al-qasbah), a walled-fortification in a city.

History


According to architect restorer, Leopoldo Torres Balbás, the Alcazaba of Málaga is the prototype of military architecture in the Taifa period, with its double walled and many fortifications. Its only parallel is the castle of Krak des Chevaliers in Syria.[1]


Alcazabas also are present in Almería, Antequera, Badajoz, Guadix, Mérida, Molina de Aragón, Alcalá la Real and Granada, which is the oldest section of the Alhambra palace.


The word alcazaba should not be confused with alcázar (Spanish) and alcácer (Portuguese), which have their etymology in the Arabic al-qasr, which in turn derives from the Latin 'castrum', and denotes a fort or castle.

There's water in the way. – Roddy of the Frozen Peas Dec 12 '16 at 7:42 I presume the route is somehow Malaysia-East Timor-Darwin Australia and on. But even these fine fellas abikejourney.com have flown from Singapore to Australia. With the increasing difficulty in freighter tourism, this will be at least very challenging. – chx Dec 12 '16 at 10:01 add a comment  |  10 Is it possible to ride from Malaysia to Papua New Guinea by motorcycle.
