Whoever is familiar with the beautiful medieval walls that still stand in many European cities will be amazed by the huge size of this unique monument, since this impressive urban fortress, already one of the largest in its day, is today the only one to survive complete in its entire length in the three continents spanned by the Roman Empire. For this reason, on November 30, 2000, UNESCO included the Roman Wall of Lugo among the list of monuments considered to be Heritage of Humanity.
