City walls of Provins
City walls of Provins, Medieval fortifications in Provins, France
The defensive walls of Provins extend for 1.2 kilometers around the upper town, reaching heights of 25 meters with multiple towers and gates.
Built between the 11th and 13th centuries, these fortifications protected the town during its prominence as a major trading center in medieval France.
The walls form an essential component of Provins' UNESCO World Heritage status, representing medieval military engineering and urban development techniques.
