The Christmas Market here is one of the best I’ve been to so far. Their were so many stalls that I’ve never seen before in other Christmas markets around Europe. There is ample amount of space, seats, and etc to accommodate everyone. The best part was there were little fire pits scattered around the Christmas Market to warm everyone up. Honestly this place was great and I would love to bring more family and friends to the market. There wasn’t enormous lines to queue for the food stalls either. I’ve been traveling to numerous Christmas markets around Europe the past month and that was my number one complaint was their over-crowdedness and the enormous lines. None of that over here.

We visited the Merode Castle for the Christmas Market and it was absolutely amazing. It was laid out very well and it didn’t feel too crowded. The food stalls were spread out nicely so you could keep walking and find another bite to eat as you go. Overall the market had a beautiful ambiance with live music, twinkling lights and fires to keep warm. Highly recommend coming!

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.
