Very beautiful church. Beautiful interior paintings

A little flashback to my childhood. Castelsarrasin has become a very pretty little town, and the red brick church with its tower is very original and well maintained. The neighborhood is very pleasant ?

Nothing to say, closed. Sad city, even if we were able to quench our thirst at the Café Chaud, pleasant welcome, only bistro open in the city center

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.
