Almería History & Museums
Almería’s historical landscape is defined by the Alcazaba, a massive 10th-century Moorish fortress, and the Museum of Almería, which houses significant Los Millares and El Argar archaeological collections. The city’s industrial heritage is preserved in the Cable Inglés, a 1904 iron ore pier. Visitors can explore 11th-century Arab cisterns built under Jairán’s rule and the Puerta de Almería, which features Roman salt-curing tanks and remnants of the medieval Islamic city wall.
