Very friendly welcome. Invested guide. We learned a lot of things on the site. It would be good for the state to think about providing subsidies to resume excavations. Conference on 05.24.25 at the Louiac village hall at 2:00 p.m.

Very old wine estate since the site includes a 4th century Gallo-Roman villa with magnificent mosaics as well as an old 12th century chapel Possible 1-hour visit by the passionate owner Very good wine and very warm welcome I did a tasting there with friends on the occasion of the 27th Loupiac and foie gras des landes days. We went from domain to domain by bike...!

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.
