Art on the Walls
These are but a few of the subjects that cover the walls of Mexico City’s Secretaría de Educación Pública (SEP). This federal government building houses the Ministry of Public Education. The enormous mural cycle celebrates Mexico: its festivals, industries, and people in over 100 panels artistically.

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).

St Mary’s Abbey Wall Ruins
The ruins in the York Museum Gardens are all that remains of one of the wealthiest and most powerful Benedictine monasteries in England. First built in 1088, the abbey estate occupied the entire site of the Museum Gardens and the abbot was one of the most powerful clergymen of his day, on a par with the Archbishop of York. The stone walls that surrounded the abbey were built in the 1260s and they remain the most complete set of abbey walls in the country.
Roman Remains
Examples of standing Roman remains in York are in the Museum Gardens with fine stretches of the fortress wall.
York Minster from the Walls
No visit to York is complete without a stroll along part of the 2 miles of historic walls that have protected the city for nearly 2000 years. The York City Walls offer spectacular views including those of York Minster.
York City Wall and Memorial
York’s city center is surrounded by historic walls. At 3.4 kilometers long, the beautifully preserved walls are the longest medieval town walls and are the most complete in England. They were built mainly in the 13th century on top of older earth banks.
York City Walls
York has, since Roman times, been defended by walls of one form or another. To this day, substantial portions of the walls remain, and York has more miles of intact wall than any other city in England. They are known variously as York City Walls, the Bar Walls and the Roman walls.
Decorative Walls
There are two styles of mosaics in Philadelphia: ornate, Italian-inspired work using small squares of colored glass called smalti, and the colorful works of Isaiah Zagar, the artist behind hundreds of Philly mosaic murals and Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens. Mosaic artwork on walls by simple entrances are eye-catching indeed.
