The worship leader with other services should be raised to the skies for his pastoral care in this temple, today under the evangelical heading "One is necessary"

Särna Kyrka is an active church in Särna, Sweden. The church is in the middle of a very well-kept complex with many graves, some of which are old. The whole garden area gives a feeling of calm and peace. Right next to it you can also visit the Särna Gammelkyrka, the ancestor of the new church, which is very worthwhile.

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.
