A beautiful little church with a baptismal font running not too far from so much history

Nice place

A church lying by a stream which at the entrance of Christianity in Denmark was a natural birthplace. Rock carvings in porches testify to old residence. In the church dike is hidden the doorpost of the first wooden church, so that the former congregation still has access.

Beautiful surroundings and well-kept burial sites.

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.
