Discover the Madrid that disappeared under the current city with a self-guided experience different from a traditional audio guide, with a route designed by the team of historians.

Tour the ancient Islamic wall of Madrid through videos that show what the city was like more than a thousand years ago and allow you to visualize its history and reconstructions while visiting the places where it happened and discovering details of the surroundings that only an expert could tell you.

You don't need to download any application: the entire experience works from your mobile, directly on the web.

Additionally, you will have a digital assistant to ask anything you want about the route, the history of Madrid, or any detail that sparks your curiosity.

You decide when to start, how much time to dedicate to each point, and what you want to discover. No schedules, groups, or need to follow a guide.

A different way to discover Madrid: see, explore, and ask, at your own pace.
