Old Defensive Walls of Chania, Crete.

The old defensive walls have large sections still intact, surviving for centuries! Quite impressive structures, especially when seen close-up. Very sturdy and strong. Built at an angle of 23 degrees, the best angle that Arabic scientists had calculated to withstand cannon fire!
