Caliphate wall (Almería)

From the caliphal wall of the old al-Mariyyat there are some canvases scattered throughout the old town of Almería (Almería, Andalusia, Spain).

Of these, the most important is the one located at the corner between Atarazanas street, La Reina street and Nicolás Salmerón Park. It is a canvas with caliphal rigging of rope and blight, dated in the tenth century, the time of the founding of the city (955) and that formed part of the wall that closed the east the medina (which is usually alluded to like "neighborhood of the Almedina"), going down from the Alcazaba until the sea. It is accompanied by the foundations of the old Puerta de las Atarazanas.

Declared a Property of Cultural Interest and restored in 1991, today it is integrated within the archaeological deposit and Interpretation Center Puerta del Mar, an exhibition space where you can see both the remains of the wall and a factory of vintage salted Roman found also in the area.

There are other remnants of walls in the city, both from the time of the taifa of Almeria and the previous caliph. Among the latter are those existing in the Inés Relaño Public School.
