《马可·波罗游记》中记载了元代老北京城墙,但令人惊讶的是,在他游记中,元代北京城墙是被涂成白色的,而且是完全由夯土制成的元大都城墙外面没有包城砖,东西长7400米,南北长6650米,周长28.6千米,高10~12米的城墙采用的是宋代筑城法,即在墙内先设永定木,然后再加横向的缍木,然后加土夯筑。然而夏季的北京多雨,土城墙容易被雨水冲刷浸泡、导致倒塌,因此在建城之初曾议以砖石包覆,但因财力不足而作罢。

“Marco Polo Travels” records the Yuan Dynasty old Beijing city walls, but surprisingly, in his travels, the Yuan Dynasty Beijing city walls were painted white, and is made entirely of rammed earth Most of the city walls outside the package city brick, stuff 7400 meters long, 6650 meters long from north to south, circumference 28.6 kilometers, 10 to 12 meters high is the use of the city wall method of building the city, that is, in the wall first set Yongding wood, and then add Horizontal alder, and then add soil ramming. However, the rainy summer in Beijing, earth walls easily soaked by the rain washed, resulting in collapse, so in the beginning of the city had proposed to brick masonry, but due to lack of financial resources and gave up.
