El Alcázar Real de Guadalajara. Su protección

Regardless of whether a Roman population could exist, or even earlier, the city of Guadalajara is heir to the Islamic population known by the names of "Wad-l-hiyara" and "Medinat-al-Faray", a defensive city located in the Middle Brand. This area was fortified and repopulated during the caliphate of Abd al-Rahman III. After the Reconquest of the city in 1085, the Royal Alcázar of Guadalajara was built on top of the Islamic Alcázar. After the construction of the Palacio del Infantado, the decline of the Alcázar began, and it began to house different uses, serving in the 18th century as an extension of the Royal Cloth Factory and, from 1833, as Military Barracks. In 1936, at the beginning of the Civil War, it was burned and later bombed, leaving it practically destroyed, which revealed the remains of the medieval Fortress that, for many years, have been completely abandoned. In 2006, the Barranco del Alamín Linear Park was built, which meant, on the one hand, its partial filling, and on the other hand, the modification of the slope of the land on which the Alcázar sits, motivating the foundation mismatch of part of its walls, and those of the wall that started from it. Although the structural damage was not very significant, the environment of the building was substantially modified. Since 1998, several archaeological excavation campaigns have been carried out that have revealed the extraordinary importance of the preserved remains. Thanks to the 1.5% Cultural, during 2021-22, some works were undertaken that, although they were included in a project called “Restoration of the Wall and the Walls of the Royal Alcázar”, have fundamentally served to build a ramp between concrete walls which connects a cul-de-sac street with the Alamín linear park, which has replaced what remained of the slope of the ravine. Currently, it is expected that at some point the remains will be consolidated and archaeological campaigns will resume.
