The four original gates to the Walled City are Bishop’s Gate, Ferryquay Gate, Butcher’s Gate and Shipquay Gate.
Three further gates were added later, Magazine Gate, Castle Gate and New Gate – making seven gates in total.
Historic buildings within the walls include the 1633 Gothic Cathedral of St Columb, the Apprentice Boys Memorial Hall and the courthouse.
It is one of the few cities in Europe that never saw its fortifications breached, withstanding several sieges including one in 1689 which lasted 105 days, hence the city’s nickname, The Maiden City.

Named as Northern Ireland's National Treasures in 2014 by The National Lottery.
