After the Battle of Calven in 1499, Glurns was largely destroyed by the victorious army of the Three Leagues. In the course of reconstruction, the city wall was erected. The construction in its present form was completed around 1580.

Of course, you will hardly find a completely preserved city wall anywhere and so the city and its atmosphere is definitely something special.
You can walk around the wall through gardens and a park with a playground.
In addition, the battlements can also be entered via wooden stairs and round towers.
