In order to defend itself from enemies and foreign invasions already from the 1st century bC, the city was equipped with a wall that, after 4 expansions, many attacks and thousands of years, is still on its feet. Do you dare to discover it with us? What will we do? The city walls were built to offer additional protection to its inhabitants. From Roman to Modern times, the walls have been modified and improved according to the needs of the time. However, as time went by, the walls have lost their defensive role and, as happened with the city walls of Girona, they have acquired a more symbolic and historical function. In this tour, we will walk along the remaining segments of the walls, discovering their history, the gardens that are part of them and the battles they endured. What we will see: Gardens of the Walls – City Walls – Caserna dels Alemanys – Gardens of the Alemanys – Passeig de la Muralla – Gardens of John Lennon – Walls of Sant Pere – Sant Pere de Galligants.
