Almería was originally a bastion for the Moors during the Caliphate era. Like many areas in Andalusia, the Moors constructed an imposing Islamic fortress, known as the Alcazaba, which towers over the city and port, serving as a testament to Almería's Islamic heritage when it was a significant port for the Córdoba Caliphate. The city flourished thanks to its thriving trade and textile industry, particularly the silk produced from silkworms raised in the Alpujarras mountains.
In 1489, Almería surrendered to the Catholic Monarchs, leading to the expulsion of the Muslim inhabitants shortly thereafter.
The city suffered devastation from an earthquake in 1522, and its reconstruction did not begin until the 19th century. Today, Almería has become a highly sought-after holiday destination for northern Europeans.
