The former church of Bernardine Order. Was a part of a monastery. However, now is used as an archives, so entrance inside is not allowed. It is worth to mention the underground tunnels to the neighboring building, which are still not fully discovered. According to the legends, there are tunnels across all the old town, including a tunnel to the cathedral of St Mary.

Dawny kościół oo. Bernardynów pw. Św. Józefa jest od czasu powstania styczniowego wykorzystywany jako archiwum, a więc nieczynny. Do środka nie można się dostać, zresztą, z wyposażenia nic nie przetrwało, a sam kościół jest w środku podzielony na kilka pięter. Zwrot kościoła wiernym jest mało prawdopodobny ze względu na położenie tuż przed prawosławnym soborem katedralnym, zajmującym dawny kościół ss. Bernardynek. Więc ten klincz tkwi od 150 lat i końca temu nie widać...

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.
