Muralhas de Faro, Defensive wall in Sé, Portugal.
The Muralhas de Faro form a continuous stone fortification system surrounding the old city center with towers and gates at strategic points.
These medieval walls incorporate elements from different periods, starting with Roman foundations and including significant Moorish construction during the 9th century.
The walls, designated as an Immovable Cultural Heritage of Public Interest, stand as a testament to Portuguese defensive architecture and military engineering.
Visitors can walk along sections of the preserved walls, accessing them through entry points near the Arco do Repouso and Cathedral Square.
The walls contain integrated architectural elements from multiple civilizations, including Roman, Moorish, and Portuguese Medieval construction techniques within their structure.
