The Roman walls of Lugo were constructed in the 3rd century and are still largely intact, stretching over 2 kilometers around the historic centre of Lugo in Galicia . The fortifications were added to UNESCO's World Heritage List in late 2000 and are a popular tourist attraction.

The city walls were built between 263 and 276 A.D. to defend the Roman town of Lucus Augusti against local tribesmen and Germanic invaders. The walls formed part of a complex of fortifications which also included a moat and an intervallum . The entire length of the walls is around 2,120 metres , enclosing an area of 34.4 hectares. Not all of the town was enclosed by walls: much of the southeastern part of the town remained unprotected, while in other places unused areas were enclosed by walls.
