    Construction of the city wall began at the end of the 13th century and was based on a design by King James II.

    The city wall has a square floor plan and a total length of 1.5 kilometers. It was secured with 26 towers. The wall was built without the use of mortar and is largely intact. Its average height is six meters. There are two city gates, the Porta de Santa Sebastià on the road to Palma in the west and the Porta del Moll in the east, leading to the harbor. The wall is open to the public in the area of the Porta de Santa Sebastià.

    The city fortifications served primarily to protect against pirate attacks, but were overcome several times. In the 17th century, King Philip IV had another star-shaped ring of fortifications built around the city. This more modern ring had triangular bastions. The space between the two rings was used as a ring road. However, the outer ring was later removed and has not been preserved except for a few remains. The year 1660 on the Porta de Santa Sebastià dates back to this time. Source: Wikipedia

      One of the highlights of Mallorca is the old town of Alcudia, which dates back to Roman times. It has a largely walkable outer wall with two beautiful city gates. However, the old town of Alcudia is in high demand for tourism almost every season.

        The Porta del Moll is one of 2 old, preserved city gates in Alcudia. Not only the city gates are worth seeing, but the whole old town with its largely walkable outer wall.
