Walls of Urueña, Medieval defensive wall in Urueña, Spain.
The stone wall encircles the town with semicylindrical towers and covers an area of 7 hectares with 80 percent of its original structure intact.
Construction started in the 12th century under the initiative of Princess Sancha, sister of King Alfonso VII, to protect the strategic border between Castile and León.
The northern entrance, Puerta del Azogue, displays medieval military architecture with its curved design to enhance defensive capabilities against invaders.
Visitors can walk along two different sections of the wall's battlements, located on the southern and western sections of the fortification.
The Peinador de la Reina tower marks the highest point where the castle meets the wall, serving as the residence for the Queen Urraca.
