Impresionante monasterio con mucha historia. Vale la pena la visita al claustro y la iglesia.

An imposing building that surprises the visitor. A vestige of a splendid past, with an annexed church that, once inside, pleasantly surprises with its state of preservation and the beautiful stone walls and columns. Some medieval tombstones and a column with a notable deviation from verticality stand out. An inexcusable visit for those who want to know the Comarca de los Oscos.

The journey to Villanueva de Oscos is in itself an idleness, and the town, being rural and very rugged, exudes nature, in addition to being very well equipped for how small it is. Very close and friendly people. A discovery of the unknown Asturias.

It must have been impressive. After the blows of history, it is incredible that he is still standing. Simple and free tour of the galleries and remains of buildings. Highly recommended. It would be the perfect place for a hotel, which would allow the building to be preserved. It is my opinion.

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.
