Alzira Wall, Medieval fortification in Alzira, Spain

The defensive walls of Alzira incorporate eight towers reaching heights between 7 to 10 meters with walls measuring 1.20 meters in thickness.

Dating from the 9th century, these military fortifications protected the city during the Reconquista period and conflicts with Alfonso I of Aragon.

The walls received National Cultural Interest designation in 1985, marking their status as part of Spain's Historical Heritage.

Visitors can explore the walls through different routes, including an underground section with glass panels offering alternative viewing perspectives.

The walls served not only as military protection but also as flood control against the Júcar River and surrounding water streams.
