Controversy is the dating of its construction. There are authors who, faithful to tradition, frame it in the last years of the 11th century; Others think that it is a work fundamentally from the second half of the 12th century - beginning of the 13th century, as are neighboring fortifications.

Apart from archaeological evidences that point to a primitive close to the late-ancient period (S.V), and that would enclose a reduced space, the wall is essentially medieval. With a perimeter of 2,516 m (encompassing an area of 33 H), 87 towers or cubes, 9 gates and 2 gatekeepers, and 2,500 merlons, Ávila is the best preserved walled enclosure in the world.

Hiking

A visit to the city walls is well worth it, it costs €10 to enter and you can then walk over part of the walls with great views over the city and surrounding countryside.
