History
The Greek walls of the city of Hipponion, later Vibo Valentia, were established in the sixth century BCE. They originally stood to some 10 meters in height and had a circuit of 6 to 7 kilometers. The extant tracts were rediscovered in the early twentieth century and excavated by Paolo Orsi.
