The Walls of Pontevedra are the surviving sections of the medieval defensive fortifications that surrounded the old town. Built between the 12th and 16th centuries, these walls feature towers, gates, and ramparts that protected the city. Today, visitors can see stretches of the wall along streets like Rúa da Cerca, with some sections restored and others embedded in buildings. Exploring them offers a tangible connection to the city's medieval past.
