Walls of Castel Goffredo, Medieval city walls in Castel Goffredo, Italy.

The defensive walls of Castel Goffredo consist of two concentric structures with seven circular towers, built to protect the urban settlement.

The first fortified perimeter appeared between 900 and 1000 CE within Roman castrum ruins, with documentation dating from December 1430.

The remaining structures include the Sant'Antonio Tower and sections within Palazzo Gonzaga-Acerbi, displaying medieval military architecture techniques.

Visitors can observe marble pillars from the original Picaloca Gate at the entrance of Via Mantova, marking a historical access point.

The medieval street layout inside the walls features curved paths designed to disorient potential attackers during sieges.
