Melilla is an outstanding destination for the practice of water sports and outdoor activities, and its marina is a favourite with spear fishing enthusiasts. With an area of twelve square kilometres, the Autonomous City has a high concentration of modernist buildings, including the building of La Reconquista and the Casa Melul. The Parador de Melilla is located next to part of the Conjunto Histórico-Artístico de Melilla La Vieja, a superb medieval fortress that juts out into the Mediterranean.
The architectural heritage of Melilla, with an area of twelve square kilometres, is listed as one of the best examples of the Spanish modernist style of the twentieth century.
It has almost one thousand modernist buildings, as many as there are in Madrid, including La Reconquista, the Palacio de la Asamblea and the Casa Melul, designed by architect Enrique Nieto, creator of several of the city's modernist jewels.
The city also has a fortress, Melilla La Vieja, consisting of four fortified enclosures, some of them jutting out to sea.
Here you can see storerooms, cisterns, bastions, forts, caves, mines, chapels and hospitals.
