Maxime (3 years ago)
A pretty mansion to visit from the outside. Despite some difficulties in maintaining some exteriors, we feel a real desire to do well. It is very nice to walk around and look at their vegetable garden. Interior not visited

Very nice visit with a very efficient art history student guide on the history of this mansion and on the different details of everything that furnishes this mansion. Along the way, the mansion houses the kitchen which was used as a filming location for the Tipiak advertisement. The garden is also very pretty, it is an English garden with a vegetable patch. An outbuilding houses an exhibition area where we were able to meet a local painter with paintings typical of the region and landscapes that we encountered during our stay.

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.
