Beautiful, not really old bridge over a picturesque little gorge where you can wade in the mountain stream, swim or simply climb over the stones. Nice for children too. It's best to take something to read and or a small picnic with you and spend some time there. Just please don't leave any dirt lying around - unfortunately there is some rubbish in the idyll.

There used to be a wooden bridge in this place, which (according to the inhabitants, collapsed under the weight of a bullock cart) The stone bridge was built in 1956.

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.
