Roman Walls in Chester

In the past, many important towns and cities were defended by walls, but today only Chester, England has a complete circuit around the city. The Walls are about two miles long and were first built by the Romans nearly 2,000 years ago. They were extended and developed in the Saxon period (10th century).
