Albarracín city walls, Medieval defensive walls in Albarracín, Spain.

The fortification system extends for 1.5 kilometers around the old town, featuring various sections with different heights and solid stone construction techniques.

The Moors constructed the initial walls during the 10th century, and subsequent Christian rulers expanded the fortifications after the Reconquista period.

The walls maintain their designation as 'bien de interés cultural,' representing a protected national monument within the Cultural Heritage collection of Albarracín.

Visitors can access multiple sections of the walls through designated entry points, with the Portal del Agua and Portal de Molina serving as main gateways.

The defensive structure incorporates the Torre del Andador, Torre Blanca, and Iron Gate, forming a complex military architecture system around the city.
