The Great Wall of China is a fortification built between the 5th century bc and the 17th century ad in northern China, in order to contain the invasions of nomadic tribes mainly from Mongolia. It is the largest engineering work developed in history.
Unesco named the Great Wall a World Heritage Site in 1987. Thirty years later, in 2007, the Great Wall won the public competition for the New Seven Wonders of the World. However, only about a third of what was once the Great Wall remains standing today.
The Great Wall of China reached a total of 21.196 km. This measurement includes the perimeter of all walls that ever existed and the connected paths.
However, the Great Wall project itself reached 8.851.8 km in length, which was carried out by the Ming dynasty. This figure includes the old sections that were rebuilt and seven thousand new kilometers.
