The wall of Cori goes along a path of almost 2 km and you can see the different ages in which it was built.
The oldest, that of the polygonal or cyclopean walls, dates back to the 6th century BC, during the Volsci period, and is characterized by huge boulders positioned dry with great precision.
Some parts have been restored around the 4th century BC and are called with the name of polygonal walls of the III way.
In the second century BC, during the Roman period, some sections were arranged with curtains and control towers were added.
The walls had three Sceo-type gates (Romana, Ninfina, Signina), that is, they were designed to attack enemies on the right side, where they did not have a shield.
Inside the walls, the land had been modeled with a series of terraces where the acropolis and, subsequently, the forum and temples had been placed.
The walls of Cori are famous for having been designed and engraved by Giovanni Battista Piranesi in 1764
