Recinto amurallado de Calatayud
Recinto amurallado de Calatayud, Medieval city walls in Calatayud, Spain
The fortified enclosure extends for 4 kilometers around Calatayud, featuring five distinct fortified areas including the Castillo Mayor and Torre Mocha.
The original walls date from the first half of the 9th century, with the Emiral Gate from 862 standing as the oldest known Muslim architectural element in Spain.
The walls demonstrate the evolution from an Islamic settlement to a modern city, incorporating various architectural styles through different historical periods.
Visitors can explore three preserved gates: Puerta de Zaragoza, Puerta de Terrer, and Puerta de Soria, which provide access to the historical center.
The fortification system includes an interconnected network of five castles strategically positioned on different hills surrounding the medieval town.
