One of the most interesting buildings in Slanské. The roof from the 15th century is also not often seen. Unfortunately, the city management sees it differently and that is why it is only open thanks to the voluntary activity of people, especially around the Parish Charity Slaný. Dik belongs to them.

A beautiful Gothic church built on the site of an earlier Romanesque basilica. I also recommend a tour of the interior (there are open days throughout the year).

They drove by. We stopped and walked a bit through the streets of the city. It was 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.
