City walls of Tachov, Medieval fortification system in Tachov, Czech Republic.
The city walls of Tachov form a preserved defense system with multiple towers rising at various heights throughout the townscape. They encircle the old town and display typical features of medieval fortification techniques.
The fortifications arose around 1300 in response to the town's strategic location on an important trade route. Over centuries they were reinforced and adapted, especially during regional conflicts.
The walls shape how residents and visitors understand the town's past importance as a border settlement. Walking along them today shows how much the community invested in protection and defense.
The walls are accessible via walking paths that run around the town's perimeter. They are best explored on foot to see all preserved sections and towers from different viewpoints.
Some towers still show traces of damage from medieval conflicts that were never fully repaired afterward. These scars tell of the actual attacks the town endured.
