Easy access to the main entrance to pedestrians and cars but limited parking at the front.There is a very vast parking at left to the church. Small shops nearby and a money machine opposite .traffic is mostly fair.

Heavenly moments. I often go to this church for attending holy mass usually on Sundays. 2 masses on Sunday 11 am and 6 pm but needs to be booked in advance before Friday 4 pm. Church is maintaining covid protocol like social distance, disinfecting the place after each holy mass. We should wear mask and do hand rub before entering the church. I love this place .

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.
