Mura di Tuscania, Medieval city walls in Tuscania, Italy
The stone fortifications encircle the historic center of Tuscania with towers of different shapes, including square, semicircular, and circular designs along the perimeter.
Initial Etruscan settlement walls underwent multiple expansions and reinforcements through the Medieval period until 1500, resulting in the current five-kilometer defensive structure.
The walls represent a significant example of Italian defensive architecture with two main gates, demonstrating the evolution of urban planning across different periods.
Visitors can explore the walls through designated walking paths that connect various sections, offering views of both the historic center and surrounding landscape.
The fortification system incorporates different construction techniques from multiple periods, with visible Etruscan blocks near Santa Maria Maggiore and San Pietro churches.
