A huge fortress wall surrounds the Spanish city of Avila from all sides. It seems that such a fortification was supposed to make the city truly impregnable for enemy troops. It is very interesting to admire the view of the city from the surrounding hills in order to capture the full scale of this 2.5-kilometer structure, as well as walk along the historical streets of the city inside the fortress wall. You can also climb one of the towers and walk along the wall itself, imagining yourself as a medieval sentinel, keeping order in the city and beyond its walls. Avila is the best place in Spain where you can feel the real atmosphere of the Middle Ages.
