Ramparts of Senlis, Roman fortification walls in Senlis, France
The stone walls stretch around the ancient city center, featuring defensive towers and gates that follow the original Gallo-Roman construction pattern.
Built between the late 3rd and early 4th centuries after Germanic invasions, these fortifications protected Senlis through multiple conflicts and transformations.
The ramparts represent northern France's military engineering evolution, from Roman defenses to medieval modifications visible in remaining gates and towers.
Visitors can explore sections of the walls through public parks and along the Boulevard des Otages, with informational panels explaining architectural features.
The walls contain the Weavers' Postern Gate, the last remaining medieval passage that served local artisans during the Middle Ages.
