Usage Note
Pared specifically means an interior wall or the wall of a building — the surface you hang pictures on. For an exterior or free-standing wall (like a garden wall or city wall), Spanish uses muro. Pared is feminine despite ending in a consonant, which surprises many learners.
Examples
"Colgaron un cuadro en la pared del salón."
Natural Translation
They hung a painting on the living room wall.
