Bruch Castle, Bruch, Germany

Bruch water castle was built in the 14th century. From that time, the entrance side with the gatehouse, the five-story corner tower, and the round tower at the other end have survived. Originally, the castle was owned by the Lords of Bruch, then it was granted as a fiefdom to the Lords of Daun. It returned to the possession of Trier in 1539.

The complex is now privately owned. In 2023, a beer garden was opened in the courtyard of the castle.

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.
