City walls, Aigues-Mortes, Occitanie, France

Main entrance gate in the southern wall, medieval city walls, 1650m long, built in the 13th century, surrounding the town of Aigues-Mortes, Gard, Occitanie, France, aerial view. The area sits on salt marshes and salt has been mined here through neolithic and Hellenistic times, but the town itself is thought to have been founded by the Roman general Gaius Marius in 102 BC. The town sits on a canal junction and is a transit centre. Picture by Manuel Cohen
