West walls of Thessaloniki

According to an 1896 topographical map, the city’s West walls started from the Letaia Gate, at the beginning of Agiou Dimitriou Street. They were apparently reinforced after the first Slav raids against the city, with construction material pillaged from the tiered seats in the Roman Hippodrome and marble slabs with inscriptions and scenes like this one from Klavdianou Street.
