Roman masonry and the city walls
Image: © John S Turner Taken: 15 Jan 2008
The protruding and substantial lower section of wall is part of the original Roman wall. The ground level is higher than when the wall was first built so there will be more stonework out of sight. The city walls have had to be rebuilt many times over the centuries as can be seen here.
