Walls of Burgos, Medieval defensive walls in Burgos, Spain.
The stone fortification system extends around the historic center of Burgos with numerous gates, towers, and walkable sections along its perimeter.
Construction of the defensive walls started in the 9th century under Count Diego Rodríguez Porcelos, with additions and modifications continuing through the 16th century.
The walls represent a testament to medieval military architecture and form part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site designation along the Way of Saint James.
Visitors can access several sections of the walls through designated entry points, offering views across the city and surrounding Castilian landscape.
The walls incorporate different architectural elements from various periods, including Romanesque gates and Gothic-style defensive towers built over several centuries.
