“	A wall. Prevents enemies from entering a colony.	”
—In-game description

The Wall is a defensive structure in Age of Empires III. Available in the Discovery Age, its purpose is to protect an area from enemy attacks. The Wall is available to all civilizations in the Exploration Age, except the Lakota, who can build it from the Industrial Age*.

A Gate can be upgraded on a Wall section which lets through own units and allied units, but never enemy units.

The Church or Wall itself provides the Bastion upgrade, along with the appropriate Gates for stone Walls.
