The bastioned circuit that Felipe II had raised on Dalt Vila against Turkish attacks and Barbary pirates, the work of the Italian engineer Giovanni Battista Calvi from 1555. It forms an irregular heptagon with a bastion at each corner, and that of Santa Tecla is the highest point of the city; the Porta del Mar, finished in 1585, carries the shield of Felipe II. The bastions and their esplanades can be walked, and it has been part of a UNESCO-listed site since 1999.
