Themistocles was responsible for the new wall, the Themistocleian Wall, which was build in 479-478 BC. Materials from buildings destroyed by the Persians were used to build this wall which fortifies the northern face of the hill. Parts of columns and other architectural features can still be seen on the outer side of the wall.
