Roman Walls of Zaragoza
Murallas romanas de Zaragoza
A surviving section of Roman city wall with semicircular towers beside the Central Market, with a bronze statue of Augustus standing in front.
The walls of Caesaraugusta were built around the 3rd century AD and originally stretched about 3 kilometres. Today a section roughly 80 metres long survives between the Central Market and the Torreón de la Zuda, with several semicircular towers. A bronze statue of Emperor Augustus stands in front of the wall. This is an open-air site, free to visit, and pausing for a few minutes while walking by is enough. It can be combined with the Central Market and the Zuda Tower visitor centre.
