Перші укріплення середмістя були здійснені у XIII-XIV ст. Вони постійно видозмінювались, під впливом зміни та вдосконалення зброї, а також умов, які диктувало те чи інше століття. Фортифікації Львова відігравали не лише оборонну функцію, їх пишність та оздоблення вказували на багатсво міста. А також мури були своєрідним соціальним бар'єром, який відділяв жителів середмістя, які мали право на самоврядування, від жителів передмістя, які були позбавлені цього права.
Після шведського погрому, Львів поступово втрачав обороноздатність — через недофінансування оборонні споруди руйнувались. Однак деякі з них збереглись і до наших часів. На вулицях міста можна побачити не лише фрагменти оборонних споруд, а й майже повністю збережені об'єкти.
