The Macarena Walls of Seville

Origin of the walls. The section of Islamic wall between the Macarena Arch and the Cordoba Gate corresponds to the extension ordered by the second Almoravid Sultan Yusuf ibn Tasufin (1107-1143), according to Ibn Idari.  This structure was completed in the second half of the 12th century with modifications and reconstruction carried out by the Almohads.

Arco del Postigo del Aceite

Located in Seville, the Arco del Postigo del Aceite (Arch of the Gate of the Oil) is the only one of the three existing gates in the old Arab wall. Its origin dates back to 1107, in the time of Ben Yusuf, although it was greatly reformed in the 16th century by Benvenuto Tortello. The wall ran through what is now the Plaza del Cabildo, which still has a small section of the wall.
