Experience an informative guided tour of the renowned Fortress of the Catholic Monarchs, boasting historical significance recognized by UNESCO. Engage with a knowledgeable local guide who will narrate the fortress's rich history as you explore various rooms within the structure and admire its lush garden surroundings.
The architectural marvel known as the Fortress, once serving as the residence of Christian monarchs and later functioning as the Courts of the Holy Office, Civil Prison, and Military Prison, now stands atop the remnants of an erstwhile caliph’s palace. This imposing structure is located amidst enchanting gardens, where visitors can explore the avenue adorned with statues of monarchs connected to the palace-fortress complex. Declared a Historical Monument in 1931 and recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1994, the Fortress has witnessed centuries of political intrigue and historical significance. Since 1986, these beautiful gardens have been safeguarded under local town planning regulations.
