Murallas de Sevilla illojuan, Medieval defense walls in Seville, Spain
The fortification system extends over seven kilometers and includes 166 towers, 13 gates, and 6 smaller entrances throughout its perimeter.
Built during Roman times by Julius Caesar around 65 BC, the walls were later reinforced by the Almohads in the 12th century following Viking attacks.
The gates served as ceremonial points where Castilian kings would take oaths to respect local laws when entering the city through the Macarena Gate.
The walls protected Seville from floods of the Guadalquivir River and functioned as a customs barrier for controlling goods and collecting taxes.
The best-preserved section stands between Macarena and Cordoba gates, featuring the White Tower and structures from the Caliphate period.
