Les Remparts Arabes de Madrid sont un trésor historique caché ! Construits au 9ème siècle par les Maures, ces remparts médiévaux sont les seuls vestiges de la ville musulmane de "Mayrit" (ancien nom de Madrid). Ils sont situés dans le quartier de La Latina et offrent : - Une vue imprenable sur la ville - Des murs épais de 2,5 mètres et des tours de guet - Une histoire fascinante de conquêtes et de cultures mêlées - Un contraste saisissant avec l'architecture moderne de Madrid

Els orígens de Madrid.

Restos poco evidentes pero protegidos, integrados bajo casas modernas en la Cuesta de la Vega. El tramo visible más corto pero más arqueológico exhibe piedras originales y técnicas constructivas ancestrales. Se puede caminar discretamente aprovechando el viaducto cerca del Palacio Real. No hay cartel grande, por lo que hay que mirar al suelo para encontrar señales y torres diminutas integradas en la ciudad actual.
