City walls of Alcúdia, Medieval defensive walls in Alcúdia, Spain.

The protective stone walls extend over 1 kilometer in length and stand 6 meters high, featuring 26 watchtowers along their perimeter.

King James II of Aragon commissioned the construction of these defensive walls in 1298 to protect the strategic coastal settlement from maritime threats.

The fortification complex contains three original gates: Porta del Moll, Porta de Mallorca, and Porta de la Vila Roja, representing medieval military architecture.

Visitors can access the walkable sections of the walls daily and observe the surrounding old town from elevated vantage points along the battlements.

The walls earned Alcúdia the title of 'Faithful City' from Emperor Charles V in 1523 after sheltering nobles during the German Peasant Revolt.
