The
Arab Wall - There is a lot of history in
Madrid, and if you are the type of person who likes
to see their history up close and personal, then a
visit to the Arab Wall could be the perfect day out
for you.
Madrid’s ancient city walls are well worth
a visit and the remains of the old Arab walls can
still be seen. Originally, the walls surrounded the
Settlement of Magerit, which later
became Madrid. If you walk beside these ancient relics,
breathing in the hot afternoon air, you can almost
feel what it was like to live so long ago.
Keen observers will also be able to see Islamic
Remains from the 9th and 10th centuries and
later Christian relics from the 12th and 13th centuries.
You can spend a full day or more here, as there is
plenty to see and learn.
The Arab Wall provides the chance
for you to see a piece of history, whilst getting
outside to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine that Madrid
is so renowned for.
