Once spanning an impressive 7 km, these fortifications—partially damaged by the 1667 earthquake—still stand as a monumental testament to the region’s rich history and strategic significance. Built between 1334 and 1506, this complex was the largest fortification-urbanist project in Europe at the time and continues to inspire awe.
