Byzantine Walls

Hotels near Byzantine Walls, Thessaloniki, Greece .

The Byzantine Walls and the city located in Thessaloniki, Greece were built by Cassandros on older settlements and date back to the Neolithic Age. Thessaloniki was a very important city that preserves a strong memory of its past dating back to more than 2300 year. Thessaloniki was a place that consisted of people from different civilizations, religions, traditions and customs. All of them co-existed in Thessaloniki and created its own destiny. The first Byzantine walls were built when the city was founded, but the walls continued to be extended and reinforced over the years. Some of the walls in Ano Poli, the upper city, were first built in the 1st century BC, but have been repaired and rebuilt many times over, often with recycled materials. The fortifications at Vardar used the marble from the old hippodrome. Most of what is seen today is from the Byzantine era. Though large sections of the wall were destroyed in 1869, a lot remains today. The Byzantine walls are not just a monument; but more than that, they are a part of a living breathing city which is in perfect harmony with the past. There are people who live with the walls as part of their lives, even as part of their houses. http://byzantinewalls.org
