A honeycomb structure constituted by porous cell walls forming a cell group consisting of a plurality of cells, and a honeycomb outer wall surrounding and holding the outermost peripheral cells located at the circumference of the cells, a porosity is 5% to less than 30%, a basic wall thickness (Tc) of the cell walls is 0.030 mm<=Tc<0.076 mm, an average surface roughness (Ras) of the outer wall is 0.5 mum<=RAs<=10 mum, and/or an average height (RzDINs) on the surface of the outer wall from a local maximum point to a next local minimum point is 5 mum<=RZDINs<=50 mum; and a process for producing such a honeycomb structure using a raw material having a specific average diameter. The honeycomb structure satisfies requirements of improved purification ability, erosion resistance and improved canning property at a good balance.
