Paseo Cornisa is a park in Algeciras, Spain. It was inaugurated in May 2007. It stretches for just over a kilometre between Punta del Cementerio and Punta del Almirante in the north of the city near the old cemetery and parallel to the Playa del Barranco and Playa de El Rinconcillo. The park has an area of over 20,000 square metres (220,000 sq ft). Within the park is the Torre del Almirante or Admiral's Tower which dates from the 14th century. In the eighteenth century La Almiranta Battery was near the tower and its role was to defend the city of Algeciras. It worked with the other coastal batteries to defend the area during the Battle of Algeciras in 1801. This battery was partially destroyed by a magazine explosion in the nineteenth century which also damaged the tower. During the Spanish Civil War the battery was used as a place for machine guns. Nearby was an area that was used by firing squads.

The Roman kilns of El Rinconcillo (Spanish: Hornos romanos de El Rinconcillo) were Roman kilns located in the Spanish city of Algeciras. They were part of manufacturing complex of Portus Albus, which supplied container for transport to the processing industry of the neighboring city of Iulia Traducta, besides making other ceramic household products and items. The kilns were discovered in 1966 by archaeologist Manuel Sotomayor, just 300 meters from the Playa de El Rinconcillo. The archaeological site consists of two furnaces attached together to form a single unit. The walls are made of ceramic and mud bricks, and the central vaults are supported by a central column and eight arches lining the walls with adobe structures including narrow holes to allow air to circulate. A site of archaeological and historical interest, it was declared a Bien de Interés Cultural site in 1969.

Playa de El Rinconcillo is a beach in the Province of Cadiz, Andalusia, Spain, located to the north of the city of Algeciras, near the neighborhood of El Rinconcillo.

It extends from the Puente de Acceso Norte access to the mouth of the Rio Palmones, a total length of 2550 metres and an average width of 40 metres including Rinconcillo beach itself and a small cove called La Concha. The beach has two distinct areas, the first is southern part of the beach, surrounded by the suburb of El Rinconcillo and several bars and restaurants, and is characterized by shallow water, making it ideal for swimming. The second area, which is completely undeveloped, is nearest to the river mouth. It is surrounded by the river marshes and the Palmones dunes. This area is steeper and has deeper water than in the first section of the beach. The estuary here attracts numerous birds.

The Marinid Walls of Algeciras (Spanish: Parque Arqueológico de las Murallas Meriníes de Algeciras) are city walls located in Algeciras, Spain. The walls were declared Bien de Interés Cultural in 1985.The dating of the walls is complicated. They were originally attributed to the Marinid period in the late 13th century, but recent epigraphic evidence published in 2012 has updated scholarly analysis, which now suggests that the archeological remains include pre-1342 Islamic constructions of uncertain date over which major reconstruction and remodeling was undertaken by the Castilians, approximately between the years 1344 and 1350, after their conquest of the city. The reconstruction was necessitated by the damage the walls suffered during the Castilian siege. When the Nasrids of Granada conquered the city in 1369, they demolished the walls and covered up the Castilian inscriptions that recorded their occupation of the city.The remains also include a gate known as the Puerta de Gibraltar (Gibraltar Gate) or Puerta del Fonsario (Fonsario Gate). When the Castilian masons rebuilt the gate, it appears they largely followed their Islamic-era outline, building square towers typical of that style. A bridge giving access to the gate over the moat is also decorated along its sides with interlacing brickwork circles, which resemble a Mudéjar pattern also seen in the Courtyard of the Maidens in the Mudéjar section of the Alcázar of Seville (14th century).

The Torre de los Adalides (Tower of the Champions) was a rectangular medieval look-out tower of Islamic design located in the vicinity of Algeciras, Spain. It was situated roughly 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) from the coast on a hill some 100 metres (330 ft) above sea level in the area which is now covered by the city's northern suburbs. The tower was demolished by the Spaniards during the Spanish–American War as they thought the Americans might use it as a base of their own. The ruins of the tower are within military limits and cannot be approached without a formal permit.
