The old city wall of Mansilla de las Mulas (also called Mansilla de los Muros), is an impressive example of medieval fortifications. These walls probably date from before 1181, the time of the repopulation under King Ferdinand II.
The walls are built of limestone and rock, and are topped with battlements.
Some parts of the wall are more than 14 metres high and up to three metres thick.
Of the four original gates, the gate of Santa María or de Concepción is still completely preserved.
There are six semicircular towers and a square tower that are still visible.

At this point you can still see the old city wall very clearly.
