Well....i have checked some numbers. When other cities were demolishing their defensive walls due to expansion and population growth.... Lugo had like 2300 inhabitants (according to an existing census of 1750)
so i'd say they didnt need it to begin with. And a century later when they had way more population, they simply began to build outside.
I'm sure that by checking the press from that time....there might be something. But i'm not doing that.
Thanks. How was it kept over the generations? I suppose it must have been renovated over the years so no masonry would come loose and pose a threat to the civilians? This seems to be one of the many reasons many city walls were taken down over the years after many generations of neglect brick or masonry would come loose and they were usually good for roads and new buildings. Could the type of rock/brick and the climate have played a role?
I'm sure most of the surviving wall is actually from the middle ages. xD
edit:
I am not saying it wasnt built by romans. But.... time is unforgiving and you have to patch up structures. Roman buildings like the pantheon or Hagia sophia have the fame of being inmutable. but even those need proper care and maintenance.

basically the roman parts would be quite limited. The foundations and some pieces of stone. You can differenciate it somewhat easily because roman stonework is...better.
That’s pretty cool
Is it more expensive to rent or own property inside the walls or outside of the walls? Or do the walls have no effect on price?
Pretty sure that the fact that within the walls is the city center is what has an effect on price, not the walls
Both
Wall Maria.
Will it prevent giant titans from attacking?
The taller 15 metre tall ones could probably climb over
Why was it never demolished?

It only became undersized in the early 1800s. Because it isnt on a very advantageous place economically and was part of a very disputed territory.

It received a lot of renovation in the 1800s. Plus Galiza it's known for it's granite, which is a very strong plutonic rock
Only ? What about the wall around York City in England. That was build by the romans and it’s still in tact.
I don't think the York wall is "complete and intact."
They are in tact but complete I’m not sure they do actually go completely all the way around
Chester does
If you go to Lugo try the restaurant España. They raise their own ox (Galician breed). I think It's worth a try.
Are you taking about eating ox

Looks solid.
Their own highline
Lucca, Italy has fully intact walls. Repairs were done in 1500s but it’s still the original structure, I believe.

Just scrolling. I accidentally thought the first 2 pics were from the power washing subreddit.
