Málaga boasts a history stretching back approximately 2,800 years, making it one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Western Europe.
Phoenician Origins: Founded around 770 BC by the Phoenicians as "Malaka," it served as a crucial commercial enclave.
Roman Era: Under Roman rule from 218 BC, the city, then called "Flavia Malacita," prospered economically, notably through the production of "garum," a fermented fish sauce. Remains from this period include the Roman Theatre.
Moorish Influence: In 743 AD, the Moors conquered Málaga, transforming it into a flourishing walled city with significant architectural and cultural contributions. The Alcazaba fortress dates back to this era.
Christian Reconquest: The Catholic Monarchs reconquered Málaga in 1487.
Modern Era: The 19th and 20th centuries saw Málaga experience industrial growth and its emergence as a popular tourist destination.
