Land walls ( The Walls of Theodosius)

The Byzantine land walls with a length of about six and half kilometers, lies between the Golden Horn and the Marmara Sea. These walls protected Byzantium from its enemies and are now preserved as an historical monument. They were buil between 379 - 395 A.D. by the Emperor Theodosius II.

In 447 A.D. an earthquake destroyed much of the wall. The inner wall's thickness is 5 meters and the height is 12 meters protected with 96 towers between18 and 20 meters in height. The outer wall's thickness is 2 meters and the height is 8.5 meters. Beyond the outer wall there is an outer terrace called the parateichion which is 10 meters in depth and 20 meters in width, and was filled with water whenever the city was threatened.
