Walls of Sassari, Medieval fortification system in Sassari, Italy
The stone walls encircling Sassari extend with remaining sections featuring towers and fortified gates that mark the historical boundaries of the city center.
Built between the 12th and 14th centuries, the defense system originally included 36 towers, though only 6 of these structures remain standing today.
The walls incorporate architectural elements from different periods, including Pisan and Aragonese influences, reflecting the successive rulers who controlled Sassari.
Visitors can access the preserved sections of the walls along Corso Trinità, where informational panels explain the structure's historical development.
The walls contain embedded sections of earlier Pisan fortifications, revealing multiple construction phases through exposed architectural layers.
