Muralla de Las Palmas, Defensive wall in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain.
The northern wall section extends from the former Santa Ana Castle to the Triana district, featuring smooth stone walls without buttresses and a wide corridor.
Governor Diego de Melgarejo initiated the construction of the northern wall before 1578, transforming Las Palmas into one of the few fortified cities in the Canary Islands.
The preserved fragment near Mata Castle represents the military architecture and defense strategies implemented during the Spanish colonial period in the Canary Islands.
The wall section remains accessible for visitors near Mata Castle, with informational panels explaining the historical context of the fortification system.
The structure included an inclined plane design that widened gradually from top to bottom, incorporating architectural elements specific to coastal defense systems.
