The medieval wall of Tours, also known as the "clouaison of John the Good" or "John the Good's wall", is a fortified defensive city wall erected between 1354 and 1368 with the support of King John II to safeguard the medieval city of Tours. Stretching along the Loire River, the city was unified by a series of urban developments that connected the eastern "Cité", centered around the cathedral, with the western core area, formed around the Basilica of Saint-Martin.
