More information

They are the walls enclosing the medieval city of Tortosa, which also include a first line of wall defined in Andalusi times, reused in the 12th century after the conquest. This follows the old Roman enclosure.

In the 14th century a new wall was built that enlarged the enclosure, reusing part of the earlier wall, and took in the city's medieval extension.
