Ramparts of Saint-Lô, Medieval city walls in Saint-Lô, France.

The Ramparts of Saint-Lô are medieval city walls partially surviving on a rocky rise above the town, with several towers distributed along their length. The stone structures display remnants of fortification work from medieval times, though some sections bear marks of damage from later conflicts.

The walls were built in the Middle Ages as protection against attackers and saw use across several centuries. They suffered major destruction in the 20th century from warfare and were later partially rebuilt.

The towers show how medieval fortifications were built in this area, with gray stone structures that remain visible today. Local people walk past these stones regularly, part of the town's long identity as a fortified settlement.

The surviving sections are accessible on foot and pass through different parts of town. Comfortable shoes are a good idea since the ground is uneven and some areas sit on hillsides.

The Tour de la Poudrière survives to its full original height, showing how tall the ramparts once stood; the other towers were levelled to the wall walk. Under the walls, German forces dug a tunnel to shelter a hospital, and on 6 and 7 June 1944 residents took refuge there.
