Walls of Segovia

The walls of Segovia are the remains of the medieval city walls surrounding Segovia in Castile and León, Spain.

The walls of the Castilian city of Segovia complete a circuit of about 2,250 metres in length, with an average height of 9 metres and an average thickness of 2.5 metres . They are built out of many different materials, with some parts of great antiquity, although most date back to the 11th and 12th centuries, which major renovations in subsequent centuries. From the Alcázar to the gate of Santiago, there are two circular towers and a rectangular one. The Puerta de Santiago, which has a rectangular plan, has a horseshoe arch. The wall continues to the north of the city's historic centre, dominating the Eresma River, until it reaches the gate of San Cebrián, which has a crucifix at its entrance.
