Arab Walls

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.

It was amazing to discover that Madrid was built by my ancestors. A truly fascinating place to visit!

Usually closed, but you can see the walls from above. It is the oldest preserved building in Madrid, but it is nothing special. Only a small part of walls still stands.

Great to learn about Madrid's ancient history. Lots of cats around!

A great monument to Spain's Arabic past. Not much of the wall remains but there is enough to see there. There are multiple information signs in Spanish, English and Arabicb which describe the history and the importance of the site. There is also a 3D model of the Arabic walls and the later Christian walls that were added. There was a tactile map of the site with Braille for blind visitors.

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.
