City walls of Oviedo
City walls of Oviedo, Medieval defensive wall system in Oviedo, Spain.
The fortification walls of Oviedo extend along Calle Paraiso and include sections visible at Postigo Alto, Sol, Mendizábal, and Jovellanos streets.
The construction of these defensive structures began during the late 8th century to protect the city from invasions and underwent multiple modifications throughout medieval times.
These medieval walls form part of the UNESCO World Heritage site and represent a significant example of military architecture from medieval northern Spain.
Visitors can explore various sections of the preserved walls by following a marked route that connects different parts of the old quarter.
The walls integrate with several palaces, including the Palace of the Marquis de Santa Cruz del Marcenado and Camposagrado Palace, creating a historical ensemble.
