It was like a small autonomous unit, seat of the political and military power that ruled the city of 16.ooo inhabitants and its territory. The extensions of the wall, which was 4 km long, surrounded this city with an area of 46 hectares.

Location: The Alcazar is located opposite the cathedral and the Tio Pepe (Gonzalez y Byass) Bodega. There is also parking, making it very convenient to reach everything on foot.
