The city wall of Avila in Castile-Leon is the landmark of the city. The completely preserved wall is 2500 m long, 12 m high and has 2,500 merlons, 88 towers, and 9 city gates. Built between the 11th and 14th centuries, it served as a protection from attackers, as well as control of the movement of goods and defense against epidemics.
