Eleutherae

Eleutherae (Greek: Ελευθέραι) is a city in the northern part of Attica, bordering the territory of Boeotia. One of the best preserved fortresses of the Ancient Greece stands now on the spot of Ancient Eleutherae with walls of very fine masonry that average 2.6m thick. A stretch of wall 206m long containing six towers stands along the northern edge of the site. The foundations of two more towers are present. Although not as well preserved, the line of the remainder of the fortification circuit is clear, as is the location of four gates. The fortified area is c. 113 by 290m in extent.
