Descripción larga
The last surviving remains of the ancient Muslim wall of Huesca, built in the 9th century. The wall once had around 99 defensive towers and a perimeter of more than two kilometres, making Huesca one of the most important fortified strongholds in northern Al-Andalus.
The Amparo Tower, also known as the Septentrion Tower, 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 the Church of San Miguel.
