Church of Santolaya de Ujo (Uxo, Mieres, Asturies). It is a church with Romanesque elements (12th-13th centuries), on the Camino de Santiago, next to the railway tracks, although the image we see today is a recomposed temple, because it was demolished in 1922, due to the need to improve the layout. railway (electrification of the Uxo-Busdongo section). Some Romanesque elements were rescued: the exedra, which stands out as a side chapel to the E. (original apse); the triumphal arch, relocated to the mouth of the new apse; the main doorway, which as usual was to the W., was relocated to the N. In 1956, in the archaeological excavations, the so-called 'Lauda del Niño Velasco' (921) and other children's tombs were found, the remains of a Christian necropolis that next to the 'pre-Romanesque' church already existed in the ss. IX-X (according to the donation of Ordoño I in 860). The current church (1924), historicist - neo-Romanesque, of pre-Romanesque inspiration -, the work of the municipal architect José Avelino Díaz Fdez-Omaña (1889-1960).

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.
