It was free entry to an organ concert, good music and a lovely atmosphere, I'm not really a Christian, but I think you should protect the church ?

Beautiful church to celebrate a service in, but above all it is the fantastic staff - priests, deacons, musicians, janitors, etc., who contribute to the wonderful experience.

Very nice church (as my daughter got married last Sunday). The priest (Lars) was easy and very pleasant to deal with

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.
