EN: rampart; city wall
"Muralya" is like "muog" but specifically for the WALLS. Think the Great Wall of China or the walls of Intramuros. It's a big, defensive wall. In hugot terms, "muralya" is the emotional wall you've built around your heart, so high and thick that even a 5-star general (or a very persistent suitor) would have a hard time getting through.
From Spanish 'muralla'.
A specific architectural and historical term. Often used interchangeably with 'pader' in literary contexts but 'muralya' implies a grander, defensive purpose.
