The whitewashed Maglebrände church is built in monk's stone with a Romanesque choir and without a tower, but with a gable on the west gable. The church contains individual frescoes from the 14th and 16th centuries with religious motifs.

Mycket vacker vit kyrkobyggnad med en trevlig översiktlig kyrkogård. Likaså extra byggnaden. Bra parkering finns direkt från stora vägen. Kyrkan var låst.

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.
