Preserved walls closing the town are from the second half of the 14th century, additional strips were added in late Gothic. The city walls had 2-3 lanes and another fortification circuit fortifying the city with a suburb that has not been preserved until today. The castle was incorporated into the fortification belt on the southern rock above Ohří. After the Hussite wars the walls were supplemented by a rampart and elements of active defense.

Quite nice preserved. The city fortifications date from the second half of the 13th century. The old town was surrounded by two to three strips of walls, in which there were 4 main gates (Žatecká, Vodní, Svatá and Prunéřovská) and a smaller executioner's gate. The main gates were protected by barbican and between them were placed 30 defensive bastions and towers. The castle was directly connected to the city fortifications.
