The “Moorish Wall” of the title is actually Charles V Wall. The wall known at that time as the Moorish Wall lay just north of Charles V. It was not Moorish as it was built by the Italian engineer known as el Fratino. The work started under Charles V and was finished during the reign of Phillip II - hence its present day name of Phillip II .
