Very beautiful church

Impotent cathedral surrounded by a quiet delightful town. Inside there is an organ that envelops you with its incredible sound.

Impressive cathedral for such a small town! With the bikes on tour, the large cathedral dominates the landscape from afar! Small coffees and restaurants around the cathedral, also very nice in the area! The cathedral is very beautiful from the inside, especially the windows, which were most likely not destroyed by the war, so true to detail and beautiful, especially in the sunlight, were lucky impressive! Taking a break outside in the shade kestrels also inhabit the top of the tower and circled around! Greetings from Moers

As is so often the case: as impressive as it is from the outside, it is so simple on the inside. The cherry windows are beautiful.

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.
