I wanted to visit a building in Fénétrange with my friend but unfortunately that wasn't possible and then we drove through the town and saw the castle. There we looked around and then we got a great tour from Marianne, she explained everything to us in detail in German and showed us, we were very impressed by the exciting tour and the historic castle. We also got a lot of information about what else you can do nearby and also received a lot of brochures. Marianne was super nice and recommended that everyone take a look at the castle in Fénétrange!

Friendly free tour with the competent guide, Marianne. The restoration is in progress only the ground floor can be visited. We are impatiently waiting to see the apartments, a gigantic construction site. To be continued. But we have to roll up our sleeves.

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.
