富川古明城是廣(guang)西(xi)保留較為(wei)完(wan)整(zheng)的古縣城遺址之一。該城建于明洪武二十(shi)九年(1396年)。城以“十(shi)”字架對稱,街道皆由(you)(you)鵝卵石(shi)鋪成,鑲嵌有象征錢財、富貴的金錢圖案(an),象征幸福、光明的太陽(yang)圖案(an)。設(she)有東(dong)(dong)南(nan)西(xi)北(bei)(bei)四(si)門(men)(men)(men)出(chu)入(ru)(ru)。東(dong)(dong)曰升平,南(nan)稱向日(ri),西(xi)為(wei)泰定,北(bei)(bei)名迎恩。瀟賀古道自北(bei)(bei)門(men)(men)(men)入(ru)(ru)而從南(nan)門(men)(men)(men)出(chu)。四(si)個城門(men)(men)(men)俱(ju)為(wei)大(da)方青(qing)石(shi)構筑,每座(zuo)城門(men)(men)(men)由(you)(you)831塊至896塊整(zheng)齊平滑的大(da)青(qing)石(shi)塊砌成。門(men)(men)(men)墻內(nei)窄外(wai)寬,各門(men)(men)(men)頂上(shang)均(jun)有城樓,雕欄(lan)飛(fei)檐(yan),堅固(gu)結實(shi),雄偉(wei)壯觀。由(you)(you)于歷史原因,人為(wei)損壞也比較嚴重,目前只剩東(dong)(dong)門(men)(men)(men)、南(nan)門(men)(men)(men)和北(bei)(bei)門(men)(men)(men)。
四個城(cheng)(cheng)門俱為大方青(qing)石構(gou)筑,每座城(cheng)(cheng)門由831塊至896塊整齊平滑的大青(qing)石塊砌成(cheng)。各門頂上均有城(cheng)(cheng)樓,雕欄(lan)飛檐,堅固(gu)結實,雄偉(wei)壯觀。目前只剩(sheng)東門、南門和(he)北門。但多年(nian)來(lai)由于資(zi)金不足,加之諸(zhu)多方面的原(yuan)因,古(gu)明城(cheng)(cheng)很多建筑得不到有效的維護,文物古(gu)跡(ji)不斷受到破壞。
