Review:

This Moorish castle was constructed during the period of Muslim rule and is the last remaining mosque of the 18 built. It was situated on the highest point of the ancient city as a defensive fort. The perimeter walls, an octagonal tower and baths remain. The Islamic gardens have a formal layout and feature fountains. The mosque was converted into a chapel in 1264 and a palace was added in the 17th and 18th centuries. The Alcazar is the oldest monument in the city and is open year round. Visitors can climb the tower and walk along the ramparts which offer sweeping views of the city.

Alcazar, Calle Alameda Vieja, s/n, 11403 Jerez de la Frontera
