Where I worship and serve God whenever I have duties as church servant. Beautiful liturgical service honouring the triune God the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit. Weekly Holy Communion, frequent infant baptism and popular concerts for her magnificent acoustics.

Loved the candlelight concert of Hans Zimmer, and the ambiance, I'm new to this but I'd love a piano too.

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.
