Citadel Slope and Roman Ruins: Designed by OAM Architects, Malaga
Buried in the landscape of the slope of the Malaga Citadel is a superior example of architectural design by competition winning OAM Architects of Malaga. It’s a walkway that leads to the Alcazaba with views of the Roman Theatre. Constructed of Corten Steel, it is both earthy and elegant and sits sympathetically in the terrain. It is a magnificent piece of architecture and a must see if you visit Malaga. Because of the unobtrusive interruption on the landscape it is difficult to see but it can be accessed by steps to the left of the Roman Theatre Visitor Centre. As you climb the steps of the structure you can’t help but be in awe of both the honest creation itself, as well as the marvelous setting and the incredible views as you approach the top. At the top it is calm and quiet and Malaga city centre spans out below with views as far as the eye can see. Spring time is probably the perfect time to take a visit to this site as during the warm Summer you will feel the steps as you summit!!
Interest at every angle
In all honesty, I don’t think it is possible to take a bad photo of this structure. It delights at every angle. It’s a stunning example of a sensitive architectural intervention on a significant and historical tourist site. This is design that the public realm deserves and you will feel an air of tranquility away from the hustle and bustle of the city when you visit. It’s quite magical and very alluring.
I’ll leave the photos below without any further words as the images themselves do the talking……
