Walls of Benevento, Roman city fortifications in Benevento, Italy
The defensive walls encircle the ancient center of Benevento with sections of limestone and marble incorporating towers, gates, and strategic observation points.
The walls underwent modifications during different periods, from Roman construction through Lombard expansions and subsequent reinforcements during medieval conflicts.
The fortification system includes the Port'Arsa gate, which serves as a testament to the architectural evolution from Roman to medieval military engineering.
Visitors can walk along designated paths near the walls, accessing multiple preserved sections that connect to the city's historical center.
The walls integrate parts of an ancient Temple of Isis, discovered in 1903, which were used as foundation materials during the 7th-century reconstruction.
