Salamanca Walls, Medieval defensive wall in Salamanca, Spain
The fortifications extend for 5.5 kilometers around the old city center, featuring sections of stone walls and remnants of thirteen entrance gates.
Originally built in the 12th century under Alfonso VII of Leon, the walls incorporated an older fortress and expanded the city beyond its initial boundaries.
The walls serve as an open-air museum, displaying different construction techniques from various historical periods through their preserved sections and architectural elements.
Visitors can explore remaining sections of the walls near the Huerto de Calixto y Melibea garden, which offers views over the Tormes River.
Archaeological studies of the wall sections reveal ancient building methods, including Roman stone masonry techniques and medieval architectural adaptations.
