Muy guapa, buen románico. Habría que conservarla mejor.

Beautiful Romanesque monument, which is worth visiting, it is precious and its stones count, what has been lived for many centuries, I hope it was more pampered and cared for.

Pre-Romanesque church in a small village, it is very beautiful but in very bad condition, the roof needs to be repaired and the stone cleaned, or it will end up like the house next door
Miguel Martínez Trullén (5 years ago)
Yet another of those charming examples of Asturian Romanesque architecture that unite the wonder of its enclave, a secluded valley very close to San Salvador de Valdediós, with the trace of architectural harmony that reaches the bottom of the spirit.

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.
