No, why should that destroy it? It is of archeological importance and its on the area of a public park.

Yeah, well, it was well known that here was the city wall, I meatn it have been demolished just about 200 years ago and the documents about the demolition (order by the french military city commander, bill of costs etc.) still exist in the city archives, but it was a surprise that here was such a large chunk of wall left intact.
