I saw people in the tower but I don't know how or where they arranged the visit...

It is good to visit the town in general

It's a beauty. That I must confess. You can literally see the whole town when you look down the castle

Nice town to visit, a few kilometers from Miranda de Ebro

Pequeña población, limpia y ordenada, con los restos de un castillo medieval en lo alto, que resulta encantador visitar en la hora de la puesta del sol. Resulta evocador y vagamente misterioso

Walls of Constantinople

The Walls of Constantinople are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great. With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they were the last great fortification system of antiquity, and one of the most complex and elaborate systems ever built. They were also the largest and strongest fortification in both the ancient and medieval world.

Initially built by Constantine the Great, the walls surrounded the new city on all sides, protecting it against attack from both sea and land. As the city grew, the famous double line of the Theodosian Walls was built in the 5th century. Although the other sections of the walls were less elaborate, they were, when well-manned, almost impregnable for any medieval besieger.
