Sumario:[EN] The “Restoration project of the walls of the Cerro de San Cristóbal and al-Mudayna, in Almería” was carried out between December 2022 and January 2024. It was prepared and directed by the team of architects of the School of Arabic Studies (EEA, CSIC). These defensive structures form part of the BIC “Alcazaba y Murallas del Cerro de San Cristóbal, en Almería”, declared a Historic-Artistic Monument in 1931 and delimitated in 2004. The construction of this wall has been attributed to the period of the first Taifa ruler of Almería, Khayrān al-’Amiri (r. 1014-1028). However, its material reality shows that it was extended and improved at a later date. This sector of the wall and its nine towers were intervened between 1950-1964, following the projects by the architect of the Zone, Francisco Prieto-Moreno, and therefore required urgent work. This also included the scattered remains of towers and walls preserved in the area outside the walls, known as al-Mudayna (the Citadel). This paper highlights the research and restoration work carried out in this heritage site.
