Korsnäs Church

Korsnäs, Finland

The wooden church of Korsnäs was designed by famous architect Carl Ludvig Engel and it was built in 1831. The belfry dates already from the previous church, and it is built in 1747 (the current appearance dates from the restoration made around 1860s). The adjacent parsonage, also built in 1831, is today a parish museum.

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.
