Plasencia City Walls

Plasencia City Walls were built in the late 12th century by Alfonso VIII of Castile, who founded Plasencia to protect his western border. The original perimeter was around 2.4 kilometers long.  Towers with semicircular floors reinforced the walls and 26 of the original towers are still preserved.  To visit the Wall of Plasencia visitors must stroll through the center of the old city and pass through any of the eight existing doors, gates and wickets. A walks through the barbican is an experience to enjoy.
