Muralla del Revellín, 16th-century defensive ruins in Logroño, Spain.
The Muralla del Revellín is a 16th-century fortification featuring a cylindrical tower and stone walls running through the city center. The structure shows layers of original construction and connecting ramparts that formed the medieval defense system.
The fortification originated in the medieval period and underwent major expansion between 1498 and 1540 to reinforce the city walls against external threats. This enlargement reflects the military importance the city held during this era.
The Fish Brotherhood distributes meals during San Bernabé festivities to honor the 1521 siege, when citizens depended on fish from the Ebro River for survival.
The ruins are freely accessible and can be viewed from outside, with some sections integrated into the city center streets. Comfortable shoes are recommended and visiting in daylight helps you appreciate the stone details and wall arrangement fully.
Excavations in 2006 uncovered sections of the original wall that had been hidden beneath buildings for centuries. These buried remains show how the city developed over and around the ancient fortification.
