Spain info: Madrigal de las Altas Torres
Localidad de ilustre pasado, que fue cuna de
la reina Isabel la Católica y antigua residencia de la Corte. Su recinto
amurallado está declarado Bien de Interés Cultural.
Posee uno de los escasos ejemplos de murallas
medievales de estilo mudéjar que se conservan en todo el país. Las
partes que se pueden ver —que mezclan lo románico, lo gótico primitivo y
lo mudéjar—corresponden a los siglos XIII-XIV, aunque varias de ellas
han sido reconstruidas. El recinto original, en forma de óvalo
irregular, alcanzaba los 2.300 metros de perímetro y ocupaba un área
interior de unos 390.400 metros cuadrados, datos que lo equiparaban a
las famosas murallas de Ávila.
Su espesor medio, de 1,5 metros, estaba reforzado mediante barbacana
exterior y foso. Los materiales utilizados fueron el tapial de tierra,
la piedra y el ladrillo. En la actualidad se conservan 23 de los 60-80
torreones originales —cuadrados o pentagonales—, varios lienzos murados y
cuatro puertas: las de Arévalo, Medina, Peñaranda y Cantalapiedra
