The Walls of Madrid (Spanish: cerca de Madrid, tapia de Madrid) are the five successive sets of walls that surrounded the city of Madrid from the Middle Ages until the end of the 19th century. Some of the walls had a defensive or military function, while others made it easy to tax goods entering the city. Towards the end of the 19th century the demographic explosion that came with the Industrial Revolution prompted urban expansion throughout Spain. Older walls were torn down to enable the expansion of the city under the grid plan of Carlos María de Castro.

  • La cerca o tapia de Madrid es el nombre genérico de los sucesivos muros que al ampliarse la villa y acoger territorio de sus arrabales y pueblas,​ marcaron el límite del perímetro municipal de la ciudad de Madrid desde la Edad Media hasta el siglo xix.​ Las cercas no tenían funciones defensivas ni militares de ninguna clase, sino de mero control urbanístico o tributario. Fueron desapareciendo con los sucesivos ensanches urbanos o por dificultar el aumento del tráfico rodado. En 1782, el viajero Antonio Ponz anota que a mediados del siglo xvi la cerca era apenas un muro de ladrillo y adobe.​ (es)
