The ramparts of Ypres were built in the 13th century and are the best preserved in the country. Initially, the ramparts were little more than an earth wall with moats, now with advanced fortifications, moats and islands they have become more extensive than the city they once protected. The ramparts also played an important role during the Great War experience of many Australian troops. (B) |
