The Lima City Walls were built by Viceroy Melchor de Navarra y Rocafull between 1684 and 1687 to protect Lima against attacks from pirates and privateers.Lewis Hanke, Los virreyes espanoles durante la casa de Austria, vol. VII, pp. 18–29. They included 34 bulwarks and five gates; their total cost was estimated at 400,000 Spanish dollars.Lewis Hanke, Los virreyes espanoles durante la casa de Austria, vol. VII, p. 27. The walls were torn down in 1872 under the presidency of Jose Balta as part of the expansion process of the city.Jorge Basadre, Historia de la Republica del Peru, vol. V, p. 365.
