Roman fortress wall

Passeig De La Muralla, Walled Avenue
Spain, Girona
The Roman fortification wall was built in 75 AD, in the era of ancient Rome, the Via Augusta road passed here, connecting Rome and Seville. For many centuries, the ancient walls were rebuilt more than once. They have reached our days in a dilapidated state. In 1985, thanks to the intervention of the administration of Girona, large-scale restoration work was carried out here. A pedestrian path Passeig De La Muralla is laid along the wall, which goes around almost the entire old city, observation platforms have been equipped in place of the old towers.

In Girona, the old fortress walls (Passeig de la Muralla) are well preserved, some fragments of which date back to the 14th century. The wide passage of the fortress wall is an excellent footpath and observation platform. You can climb the wall right at the entrance to the old town, next to the Jardi de L'infancia park. The wall goes around the entire old city in a semicircle - that is, you can walk along the wall to the Cathedral (Placa de la Catedral) and from there start exploring the main sights of Girona.
