Walls of Seville

The Muralla de Sevilla is an impressive historical monument that surrounds the city of Seville. These city walls have a rich history that dates back to Roman times. They were rebuilt and expanded several times, especially during the Almohad period in the 12th century. The walls consisted of cyclopean towers and were intended to protect the city from attacks. Although the walls largely disappeared in the 19th century, some remains can still be seen, such as around the Alcázar of Seville and here in the barrio de la Macarena. These remains provide a glimpse into the city's defenses and military architecture.

An antique Roman wall formed the base of the medieval northern city walls, now paralleled by an excellent bike trail
