This epigraph was inscribed in Gothic capital letters written in Castilian. It was discovered amongst the remains filling the ditch which forms part of the Marinid walls of Algeciras, during the archaeological excavations of 1998. It has remained unpublished up to this moment.
Only part of the original text remains, which enume- rates a series of works done in the fortification. This along with other information provided byarchaeology allows us to review the Islamic dating, specifically Meri- nid, for most of the visible remains of the monument. The inscription was most likely made between 1344 and 1350.
