The exhibition hall is a bit more sparse than the size of the building implies. Apparently one of the old central draws (a gold treasure hoard) was stolen a few years back too. Nevertheless, I think this museum had informative content and some interesting local artefacts. The audio guide is worth it and helped contextualize many pieces. It is harder to find a museum with a Celtic focus than a Roman one; if you are particularly interested in Celts this museum will impress, while if you were looking forward to Roman history this museum may not be so stand-out.

Excellent museum. Very nice collection. No English plaques but you do get an audio guide, which provides very good information. The museum is also special because of the great number and quality of reconstructed items, not just original remains. You can get a great sense of the life in ancient times. The museum store is also well-supplied, though I wish for more English books and publications.

A very nice small museum covering Celtic and Roman history in this area. Beautiful presentation, friendly staff, and they have audio guides in English.

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.
