Walls of Timoleon

Facts and practical information

The so-called "Thymoleon walls" are ancient Greek fortifications of Gela. They constitute a very important archaeological evidence of the defensive system that encircled the hill on which stood the ancient Greek city of Gela, founded by settlers from Rhodes and Crete in 689 BC and finally destroyed in 282 BC.

The walls, named after the leader Timoleon, are located within a large park set between the modern city and the coast at Caposoprano.
