Walls of Timoleon, Ancient city walls in Gela, Italy.
The stone fortifications extend for 400 meters along the southern edge of ancient Gela, displaying advanced Greek military engineering techniques.
Built in 338 BC under the direction of Timoleon following the Carthaginian destruction, these walls served as protection for the reconstructed settlement.
The walls incorporate local construction methods, including sun-dried clay bricks known as 'crudi' in their upper sections.
The archaeological site opens Monday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM under Regional Archaeological Museum management.
These fortifications stand alongside 36 Hellenistic water tanks, forming part of an extensive ancient urban defense system.
