Muralla Àrab, Medieval ruins in Ciutat Vella, Spain
The Arab Wall of Valencia features remnants of defensive fortifications with semicircular towers along the perimeter of the historic city center.
Built during the 11th century under Abd al-Aziz ibn Amir's reign, the wall included seven gates protecting Valencia when it became capital of its Taifa.
The wall's remains reflect Islamic architectural techniques with cement construction and strategic placement of gates aligned with important trade and religious routes.
Visitors can explore underground exhibits about Islamic Valencia at Plaza del Tossal, where preserved sections of the ancient wall structure remain accessible.
The wall's gate Bab al-Qantara connected to a bridge over Turia River, which Muslims named Wadi al-Abiad, leading to its alternative name Guadalaviar.
