Walls and gates in Hondarribia, Medieval defensive walls with gates in Hondarribia, Spain.
The defensive walls of Hondarribia feature six bastions and two external turrets constructed from sandstone extracted from Mount Jaizkibel.
The fortifications of Hondarribia, built during the 15th and 16th centuries, protected the town against invasions due to its strategic position near the French border.
The Santa Maria and San Nicolas gates display Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements, including decorated pilasters and the town's coat of arms from 1694.
Visitors can access the historical center through two main entrances: the southern Santa María gate and the western San Nicolás gate.
The walls incorporate six defensive bastions positioned at strategic points, creating a complete fortification system that encircles the medieval town center.
