A 2012 government survey found that the Great Wall of China and its associated walls, trenches, and fortifications span a combined 21,196 km, making it by far the longest wall structure ever constructed. Sections were built over many centuries by numerous Chinese dynasties, with the earliest portions dating back to around the 7th century BC.
