Wall Of Philip II Augustus
The Wall of Philip Augustus is the oldest city wall of Paris (France) whose plan is accurately known. Partially integrated into buildings, more traces of it remain than of the later fortifications. History The wall was built during the struggles between Philip II of France (called Philip Augustus) and the Anglo-Norman House of Plantagenet. The French king, before leaving for the Third Crusade, ordered a stone wall to be built to protect the French capital in his absence. Origin The walls were fortified from 1190 to 1213, built under the command of Philip Augustus whom also contributed to the cost of building the wall. Any incoming attack from France's main military threat, the English, would arrive from the western end of the Seine and so the western limit of the wall was placed next to the king's royal palace, the Louvre. The building of the wall also had the intention to discourage further urban expansion and to stimulate the usage of undeveloped land within the walls. This ar ...
