The imposing Medieval Wall of Alcudia is one of the main attractions of the city, it is in a perfect condition and has the added charm to hold a historic center of great beauty inside with houses dating back to the 13th century.

The strategic position of Alcudia exposed it to many dangers from the sea. King James II ordered to build magnificent defensive walls in the fourteenth century by a perimeter of more than 1-kilometer-long and 6 meters high. From the original Muralla Medieval de Alcudiaare preserved three access doors: la Porta del Moll, Porta de Mallorca and la Porta de la Vila Roja, as well as 26 watchtowers, strategically placed to provide security to the city from attack by pirates and privateers arriving to the north of the island. Later after several sustained attacks they started to add new sections to the building. In the nineteenth century part of the new wall was destroyed and in 1974 was declared Conjunto Histórico Artísticoto protect them.
