City walls of České Budějovice, Medieval fortification system in České Budějovice, Czech Republic.
The defensive walls encircle the historical center of České Budějovice with towers and gates constructed from stone and brick materials.
Built in 1265 under King Ottokar II of Bohemia, the walls protected the city from invaders and remained strong during the Hussite wars.
The preserved fortifications demonstrate medieval military architecture and retain original features including the Tower Iron Virgin and three entrance gates.
