Built more than 17 centuries ago following the guidelines of the elegant works of Vitruvius, the Wall of Lugo measures more than 2 km and has 10 gates. Walking along the top of the wall that in some sections reaches 7 m wide, and stopping at some of its 71 towers that are preserved (of the original 85) is to feel the power of Imperial Rome up close. And also, enjoy the best views.

Around the old town of Lugo goes the complete walkable city wall, which was once built by the Romans. More than 2 km long and an average of 12 m high.

The Roman wall of Lugo, with a length of 2,266 meters, crowned by 85 powerful towers, delimits the historic center of the city.
The Roman wall of Lugo was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2000.
The dating of the wall of Lugo, based on the construction materials and archaeological finds, places it in the second half of the 3rd century. Its construction coincides with the perception of the barbarian threat by the authorities of the Empire. It is estimated that its construction was a single project that was completed around the end of the 3rd century or the first half of the 4th century.
