The Town Walls

The Town Walls refer to the defensive barriers built around a city or town, historically aimed at protecting it from invaders. These walls often included towers and gates and were made from stone or brick. Many towns constructed walls during the Middle Ages, serving both practical purposes for defense and symbolic functions to delineate the boundaries of the community. Over time, as warfare changed and towns modernized, many walls fell into disrepair or were dismantled. Today, remaining sections often serve as historical landmarks and tourist attractions, reflecting the rich heritage of the areas they once protected.
