The wall starts from the acropolis in two parallel strands, approximately 4 km length and ends up southwest to the place of "Mesonisi" and southeast to the place of "Parathira". The course is known, because in various places, the lower domes or stones that formed the inside filling are preserved. However, large parts are not maintained, including the coastal part of the wall. The masonry is isodomic and the material of construction is the local gneiss and unsound granite. The maximum preserved height of the wall is 2 meters, while the thickness is 2.30 to 3 meters. Nine towers have been revealed, but there would have been more. However, none of the city gates has been saved.
