In the 1300s, Marco Polo bid farewell to his beloved Venice, a walled town that had nurtured him. As he embarked on his epic journey to the East, he left behind the familiar sight of medieval castles towering over narrow streets. The Tower of London stood as a formidable fortress in the late Middle Ages, guarding England's capital with its imposing walls and watchtowers. Meanwhile, far away in Jerusalem, pilgrims flocked to witness the grandeur of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher within another ancient walled town. Centuries later, during the Siege of Magdeburg in Germany's Thirty Years War (1631), this once-thriving walled town became a battleground where destruction reigned supreme. The scars left behind serve as a haunting reminder of past conflicts. On Croatia's Southern Dalmatian coast lies Dubrovnik, an enchanting old town enclosed by sturdy walls overlooking a picturesque harbor. Its timeless beauty has captivated visitors for generations. Across continents and time periods we find ourselves gazing at Walkers Pillar in Londonderry, Northern Ireland (1860). This artwork by R Wallis transports us back to an era when fortified towns were commonplace throughout Europe. Traveling further south along Spain's Costa Brava brings us to Tossa de Mar. Here stands Vila Vella - an awe-inspiring medieval old town surrounded by protective walls that offer breathtaking views at dusk. Not only Europe boasts such treasures; Westgate in Canterbury (1898) showcases yet another example of architectural splendor from unknown creators who crafted this magnificent gatehouse within their walled city. From Marco Polo leaving Venice centuries ago to modern-day wanderers exploring these historic sites today – there is something undeniably captivating about walled towns. They stand as testaments to human ingenuity and resilience while reminding us of our shared history across cultures and continents.
