cincture - n., something that encircles or surrounds; especially, a belt, sash, or waistband; especially, one worn with ecclesiastical garb.
From Latin, from the past participle of cingere, to gird. A sufficiently high-toned fantasy might get away with "the cincture of the city's walls." Otherwise, I'd leave it to its satorial senses.
