Old and beautiful medieval church. It probably has the country's oldest clock.

The venerable church building dedicated to St. Peter and St. Paulus from the year 1166 is a great starting point for trips to Rømua and Glomma.

Beautiful old church dating back to the 1100's. Was fun to see how my family originated from this region.

Flott gammel kirke fra 1100 tallet. Presten fortalte mye interessant om kirken. Flott akustikk for orgel musikk.

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.
