Murallas de Sevilla - Macarena Fragment of a medieval Seville

Useful information

Location : In town

Province : Historical center

  • English
    • The Murallas de Sevilla (Walls of Seville) bear witness to the city's long history. Their origins date back to the Roman fortifications ordered by Julius Caesar, although the remains visible today are mainly the work of the Almoravids and Almohads during the Muslim era.

      Initially seven kilometers long, most of these defenses were demolished in the 19th century to allow for urban expansion. The best-preserved section is located to the north, in the La Macarena neighborhood, where several towers and the imposing Arco de la Macarena can be admired, an area declared an Asset of Cultural Interest. Other parts remain around the Royal Alcázar (whose wall runs along the Murillo Gardens), and important elements such as the Torre del Oro (Gold Tower) were an integral part of this medieval defensive system, protecting the city from both invasions and the flooding of the Guadalquivir.
