What you'll see
A 4 km ring of broad, tree-lined ramparts, now a park where locals walk, jog and cycle, looking down over the old town and out to the hills.
A brief history
Built in the 1500s and 1600s and never attacked; when a flood came in 1812 the gates were shut and the walls kept the water out.
