Walls of Ávila

Aside from archaeological evidence pointing to a primitive fence from the Late Antiquity (5th century) period, which would have enclosed a small space, the wall is essentially medieval. With a perimeter of 2,516 m (encompassing an area of 33 hectares), 87 towers or towers, 9 gates and 2 gatehouses, and 2,500 merlons, Ávila's wall is the best-preserved walled enclosure in the world.

A well-preserved fortification built in earlier centuries due to the need to protect the city of Avila and its inhabitants. To this day, it represents an impressive example of the architecture of that time.

The walls that mainly surround the old town of Ávila are majestic and must be seen. From the outside, they rise above the tables.
