Castle somewhat deteriorated but they are restoring it. It is worth going up and imagining it. Also see the piece of views from there.

Now he was in rehabilitation very well, it seems to me that they will leave him luxurious. I took a look anyway and it's a great, well-preserved castle. I'm happy for the town. Visitable castle 100% when they finish the rehabilitation. Downstairs there is a fountain, a children's playground and a shop/bar, I think or headquarters, I don't know, not between. But the town is very cute and careful.

Castillo de Lanos, better known as Castillo de Ocio for being on a cliff overlooking the council of the same name (Province of Álava, Spain), a medieval fortress belonging to the border line of the old Kingdom of Navarre with Castile, located in a narrow hollow in the valley of the Inglares river. It really performed its function as a component of a group of nearby castles, like its neighbor Portilla. If you want to know more on my YouTube channel Castiaventuras I have the video

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.
