Awesome. Although we were only able to visit it from the outside. We will return another time. It dates from the 16th-17th centuries. The cemetery is next door

Striking church at the top of Lierganes. Magnificent construction that defies the vicissitudes of time and emerges imperiously over this atemporal village. Wonderful views on the Pas valley.

I am in front of it and I have been surprised by its beauty and monumentality... the shame is that I have not been able to visit it inside. Although there is a small hill, it is worth visiting.

Beautiful Renaissance style church

We didn't have the opportunity to visit it because it was closed. It has a sober and large building, well restored.

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.
