List of missing landmarks in Spain
This list of missing landmarks in Spain includes remarkable buildings, castles, royal palaces, medieval towers, city gates and other remarkable built structures that no longer exist in Spain, also including those partially still standing. It does not include Walls of cities (due almost each town had its own), but does City gates.
There are hundreds of ruins of destroyed landmarks all over Spain, although there are many famous structures standing. Many of these destroyed monuments could well be world heritage sites or be evidence of cultures passed, in cities today.
