A very interesting site not to be missed. Most importantly though, the archeologist and carer of the site, Jose, was very helpful and was happy to answer some questions in regards to the area which made my visit even more pleasant. Free entrance but, admittedly, the opening hours are limited so check them out before coming here.

Opening hours are a joke. One person attends to Roman baths and this place.

Lol, I don't agree with rating archaeological sites, it's bizarre! They would all get top marks if it were up to me as they are a legacy worth preservation. This site has been cleared and had a viewing deck added. The caretaker and guide is extremely knowledgeable and was kept busy showing around us and other visitors.

Well protected and enclosed but needs some TLC to show it at its best. Set back from the sea, well worth a visit but check the opening times.

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.
