Arab Walls

An interesting piece of Madrid's history, but the information boards are in a pretty poor state and, for some reason, aren't in the attached park and easily accessible, but up by the road with a few even behind the fence.

Umm.. er...um. its a wall foundation of an old building. No idea why its popular. The gardens down the hill in front of the palace are fantastic.. this is very skippable

Unfortunately, it was closed when we visited but it was a beautiful landmark to visit and discover this portion of Madrid’s history.

unfortunately, they were closed during my visit. However, I really loved seeing the structure from the outside. The historical vibe and the surrounding area are captivating, and the location is well-maintained. It’s definitely a great spot for history lovers.

You must see the Arab walls behind the basilica. The sense of time and stability is incredible. The gardens around the walls are a lovely spot for reading or bringing your lunch.

Part of the oldest construction in the city, from the ninth century. There is not much to see really, just a small garden, a simple wall (but ancient, of course) and some scenery of the church

This area s one of the oldest parts of the city and the walls were built during the time of the Moorish occupation. Not much to see really as it's just ruins and all the information is in Spanish. Another reviewer says that the information were almost completely faded, which is totally UNTRUE. It's perfectly legible and I could see the writings clearly, albeit incomprehensible only because it was in Spanish. The walls are opposite the Almudena Cathedral and even then, it's too much trouble.

Wheelchair accessible historical landmark. Referred to as the Muslim Walls and/or Arab Walls of Madrid, theses are one of the oldest constructions in Madrid - 9th century. This location is definitely underrated meaning you can have it mostly to yourself on any day or the week or weekend.
