Murallas Romanas de Zaragoza, Roman defensive walls in Zaragoza, Spain.
The Roman walls of Zaragoza extend for three kilometers around the ancient city center, featuring 120 towers and stone blocks up to seven meters thick.
Built during the first century AD under Emperor Augustus, these fortifications protected Caesaraugusta, transforming it into a major Roman colony in Hispania.
The walls display Roman engineering techniques through their construction method, combining alabaster exterior with limestone ashlars and opus caementicium interior.
Visitors can examine the remaining sections along Avenida de César Augusto and near Plaza del Pilar, with informational panels explaining their historical context.
The fortification system included four main gates, known in medieval times as Angel, Valencia, Toledo, and Cinegia, marking the cardinal entry points to the city.
