Muralles de Girona

The fortified stone walls extend for three kilometers around the old quarter, featuring watchtowers and strategic observation points across elevated terrain.

Romans established the initial fortification in the 1st century BC, with subsequent expansions during the Carolingian period and major reinforcements in the 14th century.

The walls represent different architectural periods, from Roman foundations to medieval modifications, reflecting the evolution of military engineering through centuries.

Visitors can access the walls through four entry points between 9:00 and 19:00, with the main entrance located near Plaza Catalunya.

The walls incorporate residential structures built directly into their fabric, creating an integrated defensive and living space within the medieval city.
