City walls of Tachov, Medieval fortification system in Tachov, Czech Republic.

The city walls of Tachov extend for several kilometers, featuring 21 remaining defense towers and walls reaching heights between 8 to 10 meters.

The fortifications, constructed around 1300, protected the town during conflicts including the Hussite Wars and sustained modifications throughout the centuries.

The walls stand as a testament to medieval military architecture and demonstrate the defensive techniques employed by Bohemian builders in border towns.

Visitors can explore the preserved sections of the walls through designated walking paths that connect multiple observation points around the perimeter.

The walls incorporate a system of 26 original towers, making it one of the most complete medieval fortification networks in the Czech Republic.
