Mystical !! Beautiful environment. The life of Thérèse De Lisieux was portrayed in the church. Also strange; a Liège cathedral in Luxembourg that also speaks perfect Dutch. Faut le faire

The church is very beautiful. And the history of Graouli and St Clement is very nice. Just a pity we were paid the full price to see the treasure, while many pieces were missing.

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.
