The Royal Walls tell the story of a city defending a narrow passage between two seas. Study bastions, bridges and successive defensive lines: their scale is clearer from several viewpoints than one frontal photograph. Then check exhibition spaces and the Caliphal Gate, a separate visit worth arranging ahead.
Sources checked on 19 October 2026. Opening and access may change. The walk does not include admission; allow extra time for interiors. Routes have not been audited for accessibility.
Plan this visit
Two different visits within one ensemble
We suggest separating the exterior defence walk from a visit to the Caliphate Gate archaeological site. Outside, compare the positions of walls and bastions; inside, archaeological interpretation explains structures enclosed by later construction. They are complementary experiences rather than interchangeable versions of the same stop.
Confirm an announced session rather than copy a date
Tourist Services publishes visits for specific days and requires advance registration. A past event does not establish availability for your journey. Contact the organiser to confirm the session, meeting point and route; site access includes stairs. Without a place, plan the exterior reading without assuming archaeological entry is included.
