Puerta del Rastro o de la Estrella en la Muralla de Avila in Spain

The Walls of ÃÂvila in central Spain, completed between the 11th and 14th centuries, are the city of ÃÂvila`s principal historic feature. These fortifications are the most complete in all of Spain. The work was started in 1090 but most of the defensive wall appears to have been rebuilt in the 12th century. The nine gates were completed over several different periods and Puerta del Rastro is one of them. The site was registered as a National Monument in 1884. In 1985, the old city of ÃÂvila and its extramural churches were declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO.
