Town Walls (North) 
Description
Visby is almost completley surrounded by its surviving medieval town walls, comprising 27 towers and 9 hanging towers (from an original 29 and 22) the walls run for around 3.5Kms. The walls on the Northern side run alongside an undulating ditch - called the Northern Trenches, formed by the quarrying of the rock to build the walls and the town - as they climb up the hill away from the beach. The Silverhättan and Snäckgärdsporten have rebuilt steps and platforms inside enabling you to climb up the towers to take in the views. The Sankt Göransporten includes a small stone bridge that leads into town and lodged in one of the upper arrow slits is a medieval missile that became wedged in there centuries ago. The norther walls end at the Norderport - one of the main entrances to the city, even today as it is heavy with traffic.
