Gibralfaro -

Originally the place where the Gibralfaro lies is thought to have hosted a lighthouse build by the Phoenicians. On the remains of this lighthouse a fortress was build by Abderramán III and was later reconstructed as a castle by Yasuf I in the 14th century. You can buy a combined ticket for the Alcazaba and Gibralfaro, but even though the sizes are connected it is not possible to walk from one to the other, and in fact a short bus journey is needed to get between them. The staff at the Alcazaba are very helpful, and will expain exactly where to get the bus from.
