Sevilla Walls

The walls of Sevilla are one of the most important monuments in the city and, as their name indicates, they were military objects that surrounded the old part of town in the Roman period to protect them from possible invaders.

 

These were up until the 19th century when, part of them, were knocked down after the revolution of 1868, although up until today some are still preserved in the Macarena district and part of the ones that were in the Reales Alcázares de Sevilla.

 

The extense and large walls had 18 different access gates only 4 of which still stand: the Macarena, postigo de Aceite, Alcázar and Puerta de Córdoba.

 

The construction was ordered by Julius Caesar between the years 68 and 65 BC and they were perfected during the time that his son, Caesar Augustus, took the city forward.

 

Today the walls are one of the most visited monuments in the city and they present an old construction that managed to stay on its feet like it used to in Roman times.
