Romanesque style church, more beautiful on the outside and sober on the inside.

An absolutely stunning Romanesque church (I would say Norman, but that was just the period on British history).

Very beautiful Romanesque church in the center of Rosheim. Well maintained. Quiet place that calls for contemplation. Regularly the church hosts exhibitions, small concerts. Its square is also used during events organized by the city and its associations: Venetian carnival, Christmas market,...

A wonderful house of Christian worship. Please enter with respect. It is quite an architectual historical place but also a site of active religious practice. It should be admired. Yet visitors should open their hearts and minds to the fact that this isnt just a beautiful stone monument. It serves a lively congregation.

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.
