St. Martin Garrison Church

Dresden, Germany

The St. Martin garrison church of Dresden was the garrison church of Albertstadt, which had been created as a military town for much of the Saxon army. The church, built between 1893 and 1900, is divided into two separate church halls for the Protestant and Catholic denominations, of which since 1945 only the Catholic part is used in a sacred way.

One of the most beautiful churches I’ve seen in Europe. With so much details in the structure. Google says it is closed but the door was open and people were inside.

Such a beautiful church! A bit out of city center, but it worth visiting if you have time. The church was open to visit, even though in the Google said it was already close due to the time. It's quite small the visiting area inside, but it's very beautiful. When I visit the outside needed some maintenance, I hope they will take more care of it.

A very beautiful and serene church at a very beautiful location. The interior architecture is so mesmerizing. The church is open for visiting from 12:00 to 17:00. The historical church is very old but well maintained making it one masterpiece of art.

I can not believe this church is not more talked about. It is absolutely breathtaking. Has such a uniqueness to it that isn't seen often.

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.
