Almería - Alcazaba

Almería was founded in 955 by Abd ar-Rahman III. as a main port of his empire. Under Moorish rule, the city experienced prosperity through the production and export of silk fabrics. After a temporary conquest by King Alfonso VII of Castile-León in 1147, Almería was again under Moorish control from 1157. In 1489 "Los Reyes Católicos" Ferdinand and Isabel conquered the city. Already three years later Almería became a bishop's see with the founding of the diocese. The 16th century was a century of natural disasters for Almería; It suffered at least four major earthquakes (1512, 1522, 1529, 1550).
