The region has a rich cultural heritage due to its ancient history which first saw the Phoenicians settle there, followed by the Greeks. Founded in the 9th century, when the Iberian Peninsula was invaded by the Arabians, Almería grew around its Moorish Fortress, La Alcazaba, which is still today the symbol of the city. The name Almería stems from Al-miraya, mirror of the sea, and was first founded by Abd-Al Rahman III.
