The walls of Tudela were the fortification, of Muslim origin, which defensively surrounded the city of Tudela (Navarra), along the perimeter that now makes up the old town of the city. A first wall was built at the beginning of the ninth century, with the fortification of Amrùs Ben Yusuf, which surrounded a first enclosure, the founding. This first wall reached the Midovilla ravine, which initially served as a natural defensive pit. With demographic growth, especially at the time of the Banu Qasi, this wall was extended during the first half of the ninth century until reaching the following natural pit, the Queiles River. This corresponds to the main wall of Medina Tudelana, which was preserved intact until the 16th century. After the reconquest of Tudela in 1119, the Moors were transferred to extramuros, building a new neighborhood subsequently known as La Morería; This new neighborhood was immediately protected by a new fortification: the walls of the Morería.
