They are the most significant surviving section of the 13th century town walls surrounding the neighbourhoods, which had sprawled in the Middle Ages.

They are among the great construction works carried out thanks to Bishop Federico Vanga before the year 1218. In this point, up to Clesio’s age, the Fersina stream flew past the foot of the walls. The S. Croce gate to access the road to Verona was also located here. These impressive walls with Ghibelline battlements and parapet-walks feature an average height of 15 metres, and their thickness varies from 1.5 to 2.5 m.
