Abstract

Nisyros, here on the island there is a wall with worked stones collected polygonal masonry with an internal cavity filled with rubble. Greece, it is based on a new point of view, forced open a new archaeological site on the tourist trail. The fortress wall was built in the fourth century BC, and defending the Acropolis and the ancient city of Nisyros, who had been there since at least the seventh century BC. This fortress - one of the best preserved fortifications of the classical period among those that have survived until our days. The best preserved part of the wall at the site of the settlement. Its thickness varies from 2 m to 3.65 m. The outer shell is composed of black stones trapezoidal shape of the local volcanic origin (basalt andesite), and the inner parts are filled with rubble.

On the inner side of the well-preserved staircase leading to the pedestrian part of the wall (wall-walk). On the eastern side of the wall there are two ladders that reach heights of 15 and 18 steps. On its south side there are additional steps to facilitate access to appropriate towers. From most other ladders just kept grounds. Public buildings and shrines of the ancient city had to be located on the flat top of the hill, and houses, probably located on the slopes. Later, in the sixth century AD, right behind the gate was built by a large early Christian basilica, which owns the remaining columns with Corinthian capitals. The second tower of the eastern part of the wall dates from the fourth century BC and is almost square in plan with sides of 6.70 m. The walls, the maximum height of 7,50 m, built of hewn out of trapezoidal blocks. The tower was probably composed in a different period than the surrounding wall construction and is currently in a meaningful label. This message specifies the minimum width of about 1.50 m, the public space around the walls, which should not be used in any way for reasons of defensive properties of the fortress. This is a rare written evidence dates back to 350325gg BC and is an important proof of the dates of the walls. Most of the tower was struck in the earthquake in the first place because of the weakness of its foundation under the ground. It was rebuilt, but with new stones. The reconstruction included the strengthening of the foundation, as well as dismantling and moving parts that have been moved to another place or were under threat of destruction. Currently, the tower gained its original form, the true structure and dynamism.
