City wall of Perugia, Defense walls in Perugia, Italy
The Etruscan city walls extend over three kilometers, constructed with large travertine blocks arranged without mortar in square and trapezoidal patterns.
The ancient fortification, built between the fourth and third centuries BC, successfully blocked the Roman army of Consul Fabius Maximus Rullianus in 310 BC.
The walls contain ancient Etruscan alphabet markings on stone blocks, indicating specific construction sites where materials were designated for delivery in Perugia.
Walking tours along the perimeter walls take approximately two hours to complete, covering a distance of 2.1 kilometers through the center of Perugia.
The walls incorporate six main gates connecting Perugia to neighboring cities, with additional smaller pedestrian entrances called postierle for water drainage.
