The walls are said to have been first erected during the fourth century, and they have been enlarged and re-built at various times since. They are formed of stone, diagonally laid at the foundation, and partly also of brick, and measure about four miles in circumference.

The Custom House, outside the North Gate, various Yamêns, other public offices and the Foundling Hospital, are also among the chief buildings. The last-named institution, built in 1748, contains 100
