The Tower of the Muses' Keep: The Star of Melilla's Heart

Beyond the vibrant spectacle of football, the city of Melilla shares a timeless bond with the ancient lighthouse perched atop the city's highest hill

The Álvarez Claro Municipal Stadium rests in the heart of Melilla, Spain, a loyal companion to the ancient lighthouse known as the Tower of the Muses, who has stood guard over the hilltops since the 15th century. Eons have passed and yet in 1945, the stadium was made manifest, falling under the care of the autonomous city of Melilla. It now caters to the passions of over 8,000 spectators, its enduring strength and resolve a testament to Melilla's rich heritage and unbroken spirit. The Tower of the Muses and the stadium have danced together through the ages, weaving a tale of community and perseverance that is as timeless as the hills themselves.
