Just
a la cerca (the wall) well preserved and integrated
in the city. Of equal significance is its castle, which
combines Muslim and Cristian elements. With a rectangular
structure, its 11th century gate shows the way to the
main court and the parade ground, from whose battlements
one perceives the beauty of the local landscape.
La
Juderia ist a clear example of Medieval urbanism that
reminds the visitor Muslim and Sephardic presence.

the primitive walled enclosure lies the Plaza de España,
built on the 16th century, which, initially, held the
bullfighting events organized by the nobles and knights
of Vejer de
la Frontera.
