The wall has survived several centuries and remains one of the world’s most extensive traditional military defense systems. Not only is the wall one of the best preserved, but also the largest and oldest in the country. Erected during the 14th century, it has undergone refurbishment thrice, about once every 2 centuries, and most recently in the early 1980s.
