Not every statue in London. The ones worth crossing the road for: Roman wall, medieval ruins, and the monuments that earn a detour.
Medieval bastions on the Roman line, standing in the Barbican's ornamental lake.
RomanMedievalRuinsFree
Three bastions and the wall between them survive along the south side of the Barbican estate, beside St Giles Cripplegate. The wall is Roman at the base and the bastions are thirteenth-century, hollow-backed towers added when the city was fortified against Simon de Montfort's barons. The estate's architects kept them and ran the water round their feet, so Bastion 12 rises out of a lake among the concrete. No other stretch of the wall is seen like this. The panels along the walkway explain each piece.
