The Southampton town walls are a series of defensive structures that encircle the old town of Southampton, United Kingdom. These medieval fortifications were primarily constructed between the 12th and 14th centuries, following the Norman Conquest, to protect the prosperous port town from invaders. The walls originally extended for approximately 1.25 miles and included numerous gates, towers, and bastions. Among the most notable features are the Bargate, a grand fortified gatehouse that served as the main entrance to the town, and God's House Tower, which once housed the town's garrison.
