There was no actual Defensive wall or systems like many other greek cities did have, they relied solely on nature.
- They had a river valley
- They had rocky mountains
- They had a great reputation of being the best foot soldiers
The conquest of Messenia was when the spartans invaded messenia and Laconia.
The laconians were reduced to servility. The messenians were reduced to the status of "Helots", who were the slaves.
I'm guessing the Laconians were reduced to the perioikoi, who were basically the craftsmen and the poor ones were farmers on the left over land in sparta.
