Tongeren - Remains of Town Walls

Northwest of the town center a considerable part of the Roman town wall dating from the second C., which was once 4.5km/nearly 3mi long, still remains. Near the south door of the basilica remains of a fortress tower of the second Roman wall, dating from the fourth C., were discovered.

The third medieval town wall built from 1257-1264 almost completely surrounds the town center.
