Murallas de Salvatierra

Monument · Agurain/Salvatierra, Cuadrilla de Salvatierra/Agurain, Álava

Walled enclosure whose construction began in 1259; King Sancho IV exempted the town from paying tribute to the Crown in April 1286 to speed up the works. The town preserves much of its original defensive layout, with three parallel streets closed off at their ends by the fortress-churches of Santa María and San Juan.

1259-1286
