The Derry Walls

Built between 1613 and 1618, these 17th century  fortifications are almost perfectly preserved today, making Derry one of the finest examples of a Walled City in Europe. Visitors can take a guided tour of the ancient Walls and find themselves transported back to the 17th Century where they can discover the complex history that made Derry the City it is today.
