Enceinte gallo-romaine de Dax, Ancient Roman walls in Dax, France.
The walls of Dax extend for 1465 meters with a thickness of 4 meters and include sections of fortification walls and guard towers.
The fortifications of Dax were built between 350 and 375 CE, as confirmed by inscriptions and coins discovered during archaeological excavations.
The remains of the walls demonstrate Roman construction techniques and represent an example of urban fortifications from the Late Roman Empire in Gaul.
The main sections of the walls are located at Place des Salines and Theodore Denis Park, accessible from downtown Dax.
The foundations of the walls incorporate limestone plates specifically designed to counter the effects of moisture in certain areas.
