Marinid Walls of Algeciras
Marinid Walls of Algeciras, Archaeological remains of defensive city walls in Algeciras, Spain.
The archaeological park displays a 100-meter section of medieval fortification with four towers and a nine-meter-deep moat with stone bridge access.
The walls underwent modifications between 1344 and 1350 when Castilian builders reconstructed sections damaged during their siege of the Islamic-held city.
The architectural elements combine Islamic and Castilian influences, including square towers and intricate brickwork patterns similar to those at Seville's Alcázar.
The site opens Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 2 PM and 5 PM to 8 PM, with Saturday hours limited to 10 AM to 2 PM.
Recent archaeological studies indicate that portions of the structure predate the assumed 13th-century Marinid construction period, revealing multiple building phases.
