This early section was found at the edge of the terrace at the Potters’ Quarter about 1.5 kilometers west of the museum at Corinth. It is not known if this early wall belonged to a locally fortified part of Corinth or was part of a much more extensive early wall.; The Classical walls incorporated the acropolis, Acrocorinth. From the east side of the acropolis, the wall followed the summits of three low hills descending towards the Xerias River valley.  It then traced the line of the river terrace northwards to a point east of the amphitheater. There is evidence that it here turned west at least for a short distance before descending to the lower terrace. It followed the edge of this terrace westwards for a distance of about 2.7 kilometers. From the west side of the acropolis the wall descends a rocky ridge northwards past the Potters’ Quarter to the lower terrace. In all, the wall is about 10 kilometers long.; Traces of the long walls connecting the city wall to the sea have been followed and, in places, excavated. These walls contained and protected the ancient harbor at Lechaion and cut the east-west traffic across the plain. The eastern line extended from the northeast corner of the city enceinte 1.8 kilometers to a point west of the Prehistoric site of Korakou. The western line ran from the area of the Baths of Aphrodite 2.4 kilometers to a point west of the Lechaion Basilica church.","Monument","",""
