Fernandina Walls is the name by which the medieval waist of walls of Porto became known, of which only small parts have survived to this day. During the 14th century, Porto had a great urban expansion out of its initial core of the Pena Ventosa hill, around the see, protected by Cerca Velha, built on top of the original Roman wall. This outbreak of settlement was particularly noticeable on the riverside bank of the Douro, reflecting the growing importance of commercial and maritime activities. The city thus feels the need for a wider walled space than that of Cerca Velha. The first to file this claim were bourgeois with houses and businesses outside the walls and therefore less protected. In the middle of this century, still in the time of D. Afonso IV, a new belt of walls began to be built that was practically completed around 1370. The fact that the work was only completed in the reign of D. Fernando, explains the fact that he is currently referred to as the " Fernandina Walls ". After their military importance, the walls began to be progressively demolished from the second half of the 18th century to make way for new streets, squares and buildings. Most of the wall was demolished as early as the end of the 19th century. The surviving sections of the Fernandina Walls were classified as "national monuments" in 1926.
