Visby Town Wall

The Visby Defence Walls is one of the best-preserved medieval defense systems in Scandinavia, listed by UNESCO. This impressive 13th and 14th century structure surrounds the old town for 3.4 kilometers, with 27 large and 9 small towers.

Built of local limestone, the walls hide a fascinating history of Gotland's conflicts and civil wars. Walking along the fortifications, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the Baltic Sea and Visby's charming rooftops.

Look out for the House with Paintings, one of the oldest buildings in the city, which is incorporated into the structure of the walls.
