Madrid, Almudena Cathedral and the earliest (Muslim) walls.

Thank you Tone.

A marvelous building Andy, but I think it i. s to big for the group, Sorry. :-(((

Joli cadrage !!

Henk,
Cornelia, OK, sorry. I still don't understand what the group is all about. I though you clarified that it was about walls. so I thought this is a wall! (OK, a big cathedral behind!) . If you mean small walls then that would help to narrow it down a bit further! Maybe it would be best if I stayed away from the group until I understood. At first I simply wanted a group where I could place my shots of old windows doors and walls. It seems that I made a mistake.due to my lack of German.
Guy,
Many thanks to you all.
Best wishes, Andy

Thank you very much, Eduardo

Superb shot Andy! YS. Cheers, Rosa.

Thank you once more, Rosa!

Thank you for YS, Leopold.

Stunning wires on the ground though what are they used for ? ?

Hi, Leoplold. They are water hoses for irrigating the plants in the park. Don't forget Spain is very hot and dry in Summer and these are seen in all municipal parks in Spain.

Thank you, PGARCIA

A cracking shot Andy, great perspective and very imposing structure, YS.
Best regards, Doug

Thank you Doug. The wall is 10-11th century - at the time the Arabs founded the city and the cathedral is early 20th century. Big contrast!
Best wishes, Andy

saludos, Hubs

Many thanks Hubs.

Oooh, a belated HSW, Andy, it's a beauty! I can Google the cathedral myself, but I know you get bored when you're idle, so when was the wall built, do you know?

The Muslim wall is probably late 9th or early 10th century, The cathedral (not Muslim) is early 20th century!
Many thanks, Diane!!!
