The book studies the fences of the Arrabal, of Philip II and of Philip IV with their gates and wicket gates. Alongside the well-known gates of Alcalá and Toledo, it documents almost forgotten names such as the Portillo de la Campanilla or the Puerta de los Pozos de Nieve, and explains that the last fence of the Villa was demolished in 1868.
Chronological continuation of «Las Murallas de Madrid». First edition published in May 2002 in Spanish.
Aimed at readers aged 15 and over interested in the urban history of Madrid and in the ancient gates and vanished fences of the city.
