It's such a pretty church. To look at with all the craving.

From the outside, as it was very sadly locked to pilgrims, it is an amazingly beautiful building. The portico is tremendous and we must salute the great Christain masons from centuries gone by who were so skilled and able to create such an amazing church. So sad we can't go inside though.

It's located on the pilgrim route into Estella just as you enter the city. It seems to be just a unused ruin now although it is well worth stopping to appreciate the highly skilled work that produced the intricate facade and doorway. Apparently Gothic 13th 14th century.

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.
