Great Wall of Europe .. Do you compete with the "wonder" Chinese?
China has its great wall. Europe seems to have its great wall, which has not gained much fame, such as the Great Wall of China and the historic Sur Hadrian, although it contributed to the creation of a maritime republic overlooking the Adriatic, culminating in the 15th and 16th centuries.
For some, however, the European wall is closer to the distance than the longest and largest wall in the world, stretching 21 kilometers.
The Great European Wall in Croatia, the longest wall in Europe, stretches 5.5 kilometers, but is also the world's longest defensive wall, possibly after the Roman wall of Hadrian in England.
The construction of the European Wall, known as the "Stone Walls", dates back to the 14th century and extends between the towns of Stone and Mali Stone in southern Croatia.
The fence runs alongside castles, with fortified towers and pillars, while Stone and olive trees are inside the fence, according to the British Mirror newspaper.
It is noteworthy that the wall Hadrian built by the Romans during the reign of the Roman Emperor Hadrian, in order to prevent tribal attacks from the north, and extends from the east of England to the west.
Parts of the Hadrian wall, which was built of stones, disappeared. The English used in these areas used stones to build the buildings.
However, the defensive fence in Croatia, which began construction in 1358, is one of the few completed walls that have not been severely damaged.
The wall was built to protect what was known as the Republic of Ragusa or the Republic of Dubrovnik, a republic centered around the city of Dubrovnik (Ragusa in Italian and Latin), which appeared between 1358-1808.
The Republic reached its commercial peak in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries when it was under the protection of the Ottoman Empire, before Napoleon Bonaparte invaded it in 1808.
The Great Wall of China is one of the world's greatest wonders, stretching 21 kilometers, and is certainly one of the greatest walls in the world, not just China.
