A beautiful piece of the old city wall that can still be admired here.

The apostle, represented here directly in front of the church with a beautiful stone statue, belongs, together with his brother, to the inner circle of Jesus' disciples. In his version of the "Good News" (this is the meaning of the word "gospel"), the Evangelist Mark lists the apostles: "James, the son of Zebedee, and John, the brother of James—them he surnamed Boanerges, which means "sons of thunder" (Mark 3:17). They were said to have had strong tempers, but were faithful followers of Jesus Christ, in whom they recognized the promised Messiah. According to the Acts of the Apostles, James was executed for his faith.

In Mansilla de las Mulas you will find this beautiful statue of St. James the Apostle which reminds the pilgrim of the destination of his journey.

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.
