Fortress
Muralles de Girona
🇪🇸 Spain
Because of the strategic situation of Girona, as a frontier city and through the passage of defending and invading armies towards other lands, this conditioned the construction of the Muralles de Girona, a Carolingian defensive structure of sandstone situated in the Spanish city of Girona itself, Catalonia. It has been an asset of cultural interest since 1967.
