Almeria is a city in Spain with many fascinating corners and varied gastronomic and cultural attractions. The city is historically believed to have been founded by the Romans. The Moorish Fort provides a historic testimony of its past ancient culture. From this huge Moorish ciradel with three walled enclosures, visitors have a good view of the city’s most impressive and important Christian monument, the Cathedral, dating from 1524, designed more like a fortress than a church because of the need to defend it from pirate attacks. The Cathedral contains numerous art treasures, including a tabernacle dating from the 18th century, designed by Ventura Rodriguez. With its interesting medieval architecture, Almeria’s old town is a delight to stroll through with its tranquil squares, archways and colonnades.
