Discover the story of how Ferdinand and Isabella found refuge in the Alcazaba, a 11th-century fortress now preserved on a hill in Tabernas, Spain.

The Alcazaba of Tabernas, located in the municipality of Tabernas, Almería, Spain, was built during the 11th century. It is a Moorish-style castle situated atop a hill.
