City walls of Palma, Medieval defensive wall in Palma de Mallorca, Spain.
The fortification system stretches along the eastern rim of the Old Town, incorporating heavy stone blocks from Roman foundations at its base.
Construction of the current walls began in 1562, with military engineer Giovan Giacomo Paleari Fratino designing structures capable of withstanding artillery attacks.
The walls display architectural elements from multiple periods, including Roman, Islamic, and Renaissance influences, reflecting the city's diverse heritage.
Sections of the wall remain visible near La Seu cathedral, along Passeig Sagrera, and behind Parc de la Mar, with information panels explaining their history.
The Mediterranean Sea originally reached the base of these fortifications, creating a direct connection between the defensive structure and maritime activities.
