The walls of Lisbon are a series of three nested defensive stone-wall complexes built at different times to defend Lisbon. They consist of the São Jorge Castle proper and its walls (cidadela or citadel), the cerca moura (or cerca velha) - moorish walls - and its lateral extension the muralha de D. Diniz - King Denis wall, and the cerca fernandina - Ferdinand's wall.
While the castle walls are essentially intact, the remaining walls are only visible in fragments embedded in buildings and open spaces in contemporary Lisbon.

If it was remade into a 1 m high wall, the masonry in the cerca fernandina would stretch from Lisbon to Porto, approximately.
