In this audio guide, we primarily explore the remains of the late Roman wall of Athens, also known as the Herulian or Post-Herulian Walls, which were built in 280 AD after the city’s destruction in 267 AD by the Heruli, a barbarian people from Scandinavia.
This event was so destructive and traumatic that it was decided to reduce the city to a small fraction of its former size.
On this tour, we will see not only all the visible fragments of the wall but also other monuments, sharing interesting details about them.
The audio guide includes an audio and text description of each point, as well as current and historical photos of the site.
