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

The fortified walls of Saint-Lô extend along a schist promontory, featuring remaining sections of the original stone fortifications and defensive towers from the 1300s.

The ramparts protected Saint-Lô against Viking invasions during the Middle Ages and sustained extensive damage during the bombings of World War II in 1944.

The Tour des Beaux-Regards and Tour de la Poudrière stand as military architectural elements that demonstrate medieval defensive construction techniques in Normandy.

Visitors can explore the accessible sections of the ramparts through designated pathways that connect to the town center and local transportation networks.

The walls incorporate the Tower of the Poudrière, which displays the beginning of an exceptionally thick fortification that once enclosed the Neufbourg district.
