The evolutionary phase of the menhirs which are structured into giants' tombs following the evolutionary path of the Bretton-French tombs of the "alles couvert", an easily accessible site and a very interesting tomb.

The site is located on a plain surrounded by hills. There were some beautiful colors.

Small grave site. Still clearly recognizable as a grave complex. Right on the dirt road.

Walls of Constantinople

The Walls of Constantinople are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great. With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they were the last great fortification system of antiquity, and one of the most complex and elaborate systems ever built. They were also the largest and strongest fortification in both the ancient and medieval world.

Initially built by Constantine the Great, the walls surrounded the new city on all sides, protecting it against attack from both sea and land. As the city grew, the famous double line of the Theodosian Walls was built in the 5th century. Although the other sections of the walls were less elaborate, they were, when well-manned, almost impregnable for any medieval besieger.
