    Alcalá la Vieja is the name given to the Arab fortress al-Qal'at abd al-Salam after the recovery of the territory by the Archbishop of Toledo in 1118. The term "the fortress" in Arabic (al-Qal'at ) is what today gives its name to the modern city (built around the Burgo de Santiuste, on the right bank of the river).

    It is part of the set of sites that can be visited in the Community of Madrid, although it is currently fenced off and you have to settle for seeing it from the fence.
