The walls of León are an essential part of the city's historical heritage. These Roman and medieval fortifications mark the old town and have a rich history.
Roman wall: Its origin dates back to the 1st century and was built by the Legio VI to control the Asturian population in the area.
Medieval wall: It dates back to the 14th century and protected the city.
León Castle: Currently houses the provincial historical archive.
In short, the walls of León are silent witnesses of the history and evolution of this beautiful city. 🏰🌆

In times long past, a solid city wall was absolutely necessary to protect the community. It offered the population protection against robbers or warlike attacks and enabled controlled access to the city. Even today, the surviving remains still bear witness to the former defensive capabilities.

Beautiful old Roman city wall, some of which is still well preserved and amazes with its round towers.
