The Arab wall was built in 865 by Muhammad I, Emir of Córdoba, to protect the Alcázar (Royal Palace) and the mosque from Christian military advances. At the time Madrid was still called Magerit. A 150-metre section of it remains, located at the beginning of the ascent to Vega (Cuesta de La Vega), which was declared a Historic and Artistic Monument in 1954. There is no visible trace of the gates that gave access to the city, only the evocative name of certain streets such as Puerta Cerrada, "closed door" or La Vega.

A moins d'être spécialiste ou passionné, ça ne vaut pas le détour, il ne reste pas grand chose. En revanche c'est au pied de la cathédrale ce qui permet d'avoir un joli point de vue sur l'édifice religieux

Visite rapide et pas impérative mais ce petit détour est intéressant. Muraille petite et en bon état. Un panneau explicatif tout de même. Et une très belle vue en contrebas de la Cathédrale dont vous êtes à 5 minutes.

Ce n'est pas à faire absolument, car plutôt insignifiant en réalité. Récemment rénovée, la muraille s'aperçoit d'en haut (plateforme) ou d'en bas. En vérité vous aurez surtout un point de vue intéressant sur la cathédrale, depuis cet endroit.

To do as all the guide, but not much to see.
Only a history.
Small park and children's games.
