# Krk Town Walls and Medieval Fortifications

> The fortified circuit of Krk town's medieval walls, with their towers and gates, represents one of the best-preserved small-town fortification systems on the Croatian Adriatic. Built and rebuilt across the late Roman, early medieval, Frankopan, and Venetian periods, the walls enclose the historic core of Krk town in a roughly oval circuit punctuated by towers and pierced by gates that still channel pedestrian access today. Together with the adjoining Frankopan castle, the cathedral, and the dense fabric of stone houses within, the walls define the medieval Krk town that visitors experience and the architectural anchor of the island's heritage tourism.
