The foundations for this wall which surrounds th old city of Kano wer laid by Sakri Gijimasu from 1095 - 1134 and the wall was completed in the middle of 14th Century during the reign of Zamnagawa. In the 16th century, the walls were further extended to their present position. The gates are as old as the walls and were used to control movement of people in and out of the city. Though, most of them are largely in ruins.
