The fortress of Vélez-Málaga
The fortress of Vélez-Málaga dates back to the 10th century. It is located at the highest point of the city, about 80 meters above sea level. Inside the fortress there is a tower with a height of about 20 meters, from which you have a good view over parts of the Axarquía and the beach. For this reason the fortress was used as a surveillance point between 1232 and 1492 during the reign of the dynasty of the Nasrid. The fortress was restored between 1808 and 1810 as well as in the 1970s. (Editor/Photos/Video: mit – Source: Tourism Office Vélez-Málaga)
