ANCIENT WALL
Go there and contact
This ancient wall dating from the early century was built to protect the city from barbarian invasions.
Part of the ancient city walls dating from the early 4th century can still be admired. Faced with barbarian invasions, the ancient city of Caesaromagus was fortified by a 1,370-meter-long wall, punctuated by 18 towers. The Aurore and Leuillier towers, still visible on rue Philippe-de-Dreux, are remarkable remnants. In the Middle Ages, this rampart delimited the episcopal city, the political and religious center of Beauvais. After the destruction of 1940, it was cleared of adjacent buildings, revealing its historical and architectural importance.
