The Byzantine Walls of Thessaloniki today have a length of about 4 kilometers, but the original perimeter they covered was 8 kilometers and their height was 10-12 meters. The wall for many centuries surrounded the city, including on the southwest side of the Thermaikos bay seaside walls, which, however, today do not exist. On the northeastern side it rises to the hills, including an acropolis, in which is also the defensive complex of Eptapyrgiou.
In the western and eastern walls there are triangular cantilevers, while at the highest points and especially in the section separating the acropolis from the city there are rectangular towers. Their building includes recurring rows of bricks and rocks decorated with Christian crosses and ancient Greek symbols (sun illustrations, lozenges). A similar style is the Byzantine walls that survive in Constantinople.
Today they are a special and remarkable monument of Thessaloniki, as well as one of its landmarks, and have been officially declared UNESCO World Heritage Monument.
