Most Incredible Walled Cities In The World

For copyright queries please get in touch ► legal@ ◄ Throughout history, walls were not only for defence, but also symbols of power and wealth for the cities they protected. The walls were built for various reasons: sometimes to protect cities from enemies, sometimes to delimit borders between peoples, countries or civilisations. Their origins date back to prehistoric times and since then the techniques and materials used have gradually improved. Although many of these walls have been altered or demolished with the growth of cities and the appearance of urban extensions throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, today we can still enjoy many walls that have become more of a tourist attraction.
