Medieval Walls
Plaça de Jaume Ques, 07400 Alcúdia, Illes Balears, Spain
Alcúdia's Medieval Walls are a well‑preserved ring of stone fortifications surrounding the old town, dating from the medieval period; their ramparts, towers and gateways give a vivid sense of the town's history and are a defining landmark at Plaça de Jaume Ques.
What Makes It Special
Several sections of the original ramparts and gates are walkable, providing raised viewpoints for photos and direct connections down into Alcúdia’s narrow streets and plazas—making it easy to combine history, panoramic views of the bay and strolling through the old town.
Insider Tips
Visit early morning or late afternoon for cooler temperatures and the best light; wear sturdy shoes for uneven stone steps and pair the walk with a short visit to the nearby Roman ruins of Pollentia just outside the walls.
