A nice church in a small village.

Jan Sognnes Rasmussen (3 years ago)
A beautiful medieval church, whose oldest parts, choir and nave, were built in the 12th century. The tower and sacristy are built later. The church is located to the west on an elevation in the terrain of the city. The country has in recent years become known for a 2 hectare field with lupins that is worth a visit just like the church is.

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.
