Muralla de Huesca: Muralla de Huesca has Muslim origins and was built between the 9th and 10th centuries, when the city was part of Al-Andalus under the name of Wasqa. It completely surrounded the urban centre with a perimeter of more than two kilometres and nearly one hundred defensive towers, making it one of the most important fortifications in the northern Iberian Peninsula. After the Christian conquest of Huesca in 1096 by King Pedro I of Aragón, the wall was extended and renovated with Romanesque and medieval elements to adapt it to new defensive needs.

Torreón del Amparo: Torreón del Amparo is the last preserved remains of the ancient Muslim wall of Huesca, built in the 9th century. The wall once had nearly 99 defensive towers and a perimeter of more than two kilometres, making Huesca one of the most important fortified sites in the north of Al-Andalus. Torreón del Amparo, also known as Torreón del Septentrión, is the only one still standing today. Its function was to watch over the northern access to the city and protect the area around the River Isuela and Iglesia de San Miguel.
