The Andalusian fortress that dominates Guadix, currently under works and seen only from outside, and the Roman theatre of Acci, with a guided visit on Sundays at 10:00.

What it is
Guadix was the Roman Julia Gemella Acci and the Andalusian Wadi-As, and these two visits touch those two cities. The Alcazaba, the old Muslim fortress, crowns the old town behind the cathedral, on the edge where the cave quarter begins. The Roman theatre is a few metres lower down, on Avenida Mariana Pineda, next to the Paseo de la Catedral.
The Alcazaba, from outside
The Alcazaba is being restored and the town council only allows it to be seen from outside. Walk round it from Calle Puerta Alta and, above all, look at it from opposite: from the Cerro de la Bala viewpoint, in the cave quarter, you see its walls and the cathedral tower together, with the caves at your feet.
The Roman theatre, with a guide
The theatre of Acci is visited with a guide on Sundays at 10:00. You must book beforehand at the tourist office, on 958 66 28 04, which is also where tickets are collected. According to the municipal timetable published for winter 2025–2026, it costs €2.60 for adults, €1.55 for pensioners and €2.05 per person in a group; under-14s don't pay. Confirm the day and price when you book, because the timetable is updated each season.
How to combine it
The two visits and the cathedral are a few minutes' walk from each other. A Sunday works like this: Roman theatre at 10:00, a walk to the Alcazaba and up to the cave quarter before lunch. The cathedral opens on Sundays in the afternoon only.
