Málaga's Defensive Barriers: The Muralla Nazarí and Muro Portuario

To the east of the Plaza de la Marina in Málaga, Spain, stand remnants of the city's rich history in the form of its medieval walls. The Muralla Nazarí, a 14th-century structure, and the Muro Portuario, from the 17th century, demonstrate changes in the city's defense strategies over time. The Muralla Nazarí, with its rectangular shape and wooden internal structure, served as an imposing barrier against invaders. Today, the Muro Portuario, with its large masonry blocks, stands as a testament to the city's commercial activity. Don't miss these remarkable relics of Málaga’s past as you explore the city. Keep an eye out for other remnants of the city’s medieval walls, often found when buildings are demolished or excavated.
