The Long Walls of the South followed
the actual train line; meanwhile the Piraeus St. that connects Athens with
Piraeus follows the North Long Walls from Omonia Sq. to the port.
In Piraeus it is still possible to visit
some ruins of this great military defense.
Just before the Piraeus subway station
near the train line part of the northern circuit has been excavated, where
we can visit two old gates with the form of a "diplon", and near the Maritime
Museum some remains are easy to see.
But it is not the only military defense
that has survived inside the city, you can visit too the rests of the Conon's
Wall all along the Street of Themistokleus (the tomb of Themistokles is inside
the Naval School) and the Eetioneia Gate in the old Kantharos. Also some ship-sheds
and arsenals are open to the public in the Zea's port and Mikrolimano.
On other side house fundations have
been excavated: courtyard of the University of Piraeus, an archaeological
park on the street of Heroon Polytechneion and in the Ralleios plot at Terpsithea,
and in the Archaeological Museum the Hellenistic Theatre of Zea.
