Muralla de Jerez de la Frontera, Medieval defensive wall in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain.
The fortification wall extends across 4 kilometers, enclosing 46 hectares with walls reaching 9 meters in height and 2.65 meters in width.
The fortification process began in 1133 under Almoravid rule as a response to attacks from North Africa, with additional reinforcements during the Taifa period.
The wall integrates religious elements through the creation of altars at its gates, each dedicated to different Virgin Mary representations.
Sections of the wall remain visible along Calle Ancha and Calle Muro, while colored lines in Plaza del Arenal mark the original fortification path.
Modern businesses and wineries incorporate sections of the ancient wall into their structures, creating an architectural blend of commercial and historical elements.
