City walls of Polička, Medieval fortification system in Polička, Czech Republic
The defensive walls extend for 1,220 meters around the town center and incorporate 19 towers built with local stone materials.
The walls were constructed after 1265 under King Ottokar II of Bohemia to protect a vital trade route between Moravia and Bohemia.
The fortification system stands as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic, representing medieval military architecture and urban development methods.
Visitors can walk sections of the walls and access the towers, which provide views of the surrounding landscape and historic town center.
Unlike many European fortifications that deteriorated over time, these walls remained intact due to fires that affected other town structures.
