I know of one that I believe was used in the movie "Les Miserables", based on the well-known French theatre production. It's called Carcassonne, and is actually a huge walled city, surrounded by two villages. From what I understand, these villages probably originated as tent cities. People would live in the tent cities to provide food, drink, entertainment, and shelter for the people who didn't make it into the city before nightfall when the gates closed and the guards went off duty. Entrance to the city was heavily screened for murderers and thieves, so huge lines would build up with people trying to get in.DW
