The Byzantine wall that was erected during the reign of Emperor Patrice Solomon and had 13 towers was rebuilt, and it contained a small city. There are also springs, reservoirs, and canals inside and outside it (what city are they talking about, and Kalama was completely destroyed), so what is the use of the towers and the wall? France itself rebuilt it again with the intention of settling the colonizers.
