The Ramparts of Avignon encircle the entire old city of Avignon and are more than 4 kilometers long. They were built by Pope Innocent VI, to protect the city from bands of mercenaries. The entrance of the Avignon Bridge provides access onto the ramparts. Prior to the walls constructed by the popes, the city has always had some sort of wall to protect it, going back to Roman times. The Remparts of Avignon are a UNESCO World Heritage site
