Cerca Fernandina, Medieval defensive wall in Lisbon, Portugal.
The stone fortification extends through central Lisbon, featuring high walls, gates, and strategic viewpoints overlooking the Tagus River valley.
King Ferdinand I commissioned the construction of this protective barrier between 1373 and 1375 to defend Lisbon against potential naval attacks.
The preserved sections of the wall connect modern neighborhoods, integrating medieval architecture into the daily life of Lisbon residents.
Visitors can access the wall sections near São Jorge Castle, with informational panels explaining the structure's military design and purpose.
The fortification incorporated existing Roman and Moorish defensive elements, creating a combined military architecture spanning multiple centuries.
