Walls of Cáceres, Medieval fortification in Cáceres, Spain.

The Walls of Cáceres are medieval fortifications that encircle the old town with multiple towers and gates forming a defensive perimeter around the historic center. The structure follows the terrain and offers viewing points along its preserved sections.

The wall was first built to protect the Roman colony of Norba Caesarina, though few remains from that era survive. Most of the present structure was raised by the Almohads in the late 12th and early 13th centuries. It was later rebuilt extensively during the Reconquista. It was declared a Bien de Interés Cultural in 1930, one of the first national monuments in Extremadura, and in 1986 it was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site together with the old town.

The walls showcase building styles from Roman, Islamic, and Gothic periods, reflecting different cultures that ruled the city over centuries. These layers are visible in the stonework and structures that visitors encounter while walking along the fortifications.

Visitors can enter the walls through multiple access points and walk along preserved sections to view both the old town and surrounding landscape. The terrain is uneven in places, so sturdy footwear is recommended.

The Torre de los Pozos, in the southeast stretch, stands 30 metres above the road at its base and 6 metres above the defensive barbican, measuring 5.6 by 7.2 metres. Its north face keeps ribbon-shaped ornaments, and its east face carries Kufic inscriptions. A medieval cistern was found at its foot.
