It is the only city in the world surrounded by completely intact Roman walls. The wall is between six and eight meters thick, around twelve meters high at the highest point and has 85, mostly semicircular towers. In Roman times the wall had five gates and today it has ten.
A predecessor church existed on the site in 755. In 1129, Bishop Petro III commissioned the local architect Raimund to build a new church in the current Romanesque style, which was completed in 1273. Later renovations and restorations added elements in other styles.
