The walls of Avila do have an outline of 2,4 km's. By that it is the longest medieval town wall in Europe. It is almost incredible to understand that this thick and mighty wall has been build between 1088 and 1091.
It is possible to make wall walks on the Avila walls having a nice views of the narrow streets of the old city and the surrounding area. There are three points to start these walks:
- Casa de las Carnicerías (nearby the Cathedral)
- Puerta del Alcázar
- Arco del Carmen.
