Today we visited the church of St. Peter and Paul in Načeradec during the service celebrated by the vicar Lukáš Okurka, a beautiful mass in the historic Catholic booth.

The original Romanesque church dominates the square next to the town hall and the remains of the fortress. The oldest part is from around 1120. A fire in the 13th century meant a Gothic reconstruction. The most famous local monument is the Načerad missal from the end of the 13th century.

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.
