fortified walls
Castle's protective perimeter
Fortified walls are defensive barriers strengthened to resist attack—thickened, reinforced, or equipped with towers and battlements.
The phrase appears in historical and military contexts: The fortified walls of the medieval city withstood the siege.
In strategy games and fantasy settings, fortified walls are structures players build or assault.
