松潘古城墙始建于明朝,当时所用的青砖长50厘米、厚12厘米,每块砖重达30公斤,所用的灰浆由糯米、石灰加桐油熬成,因此城墙异常坚固。城墙高10米、宽30米、长6200米,是中国首屈一指的古城墙遗址。位于城东、城南、城北的三座城门顶部均呈半月形,门基大石上镂刻着各种别具匠心的浮雕,古色古香,至今保留着远古的韵味。

明洪武十二年(1379年)平羌将军丁玉在平定威、茂士官董贴里叛乱军,挥师北进,进驻松州之后,上书皇帝朱元璋,建议在松州设置军卫。后调宁州卫高显来权负责筑城事宜,在西缘山麓,东傍江岸以上筑墙,历时五年,筑成一段城墙。

明英宗正统年间(1436-1449年),松潘发生民变。民变平定后,负责松潘兵备的御史冠琛,将西部城墙由山麓筑到山巅。嘉靖五年(1526年)松潘总兵又增修外城一千余米,历时60年,才使松潘城制初具规模。
