Visitors can explore well-preserved sections and see the architectural remains such as the Praetorian Gate. The wall stands as an emblem of the city's rich history and transformation over the centuries. Accessible via the Museum of History of the City, the site invites tourists to discover archaeological treasures including sculptures and inscriptions. Admission fees may vary, and the site generally welcomes the public with changing hours.
