Already in the late Middle Ages until the beginning of the early modern period, the city was completely surrounded by a city wall. This included 4 city gates. 3 of them have survived to this day: Porta Poschiavina, Porta Bormina and Porta Milanese.

The city wall was built as protection against the (Grey) Grisons, who finally conquered the city, razed the walls (down to what was left) and installed a governor.
