The city-fortress was composed of two spaces. On the one hand, the civil city or fortified medina at the first line of wall and, on the other, the castle or political-military city.The castle is divided into two different areas: the first would be the albacara or square (second line of wall), and in turn divided into two parts: the albacara or inner square and the external square. The second area located inside the fortress is the Alcazaba, the official residence of the sultan or governor, situated in the upper part of the Castle, forming the third line of wall.
