The medieval city wall

The medieval city wall

La muralla medieval d’Alcúdia, construïda al segle XIV amb torres i 1,5 km de perímetre, protegía la ciutat dels atacs pirates.

The strategic location of the town of Alcúdia, highly valued since Roman times, brought a high level of risk for its inhabitants—something common in coastal cities of the period due to frequent pirate raids in the area. For this reason, King James II designed a protection system: the defensive wall, which had a dual purpose—to defend the population and provide a safe refuge in case of external attacks. Construction began at the beginning of the 14th century and was not completed until the end of the same century. A square fortification reinforced with 26 towers along a 1.5 km perimeter and an average height of 6 metres, along with a moat that still remains, form this structure that encloses the historic centre of Alcúdia. The site was declared a Historic-Artistic Monument in 1974, together with the remains of the Roman city of Pol·lèntia.
