A beautiful church, rebuilt in the 1990s, worth seeing

The quite nice collegiate church was built in the 12th century. The advantage is that it is heated

A beautiful building. You notice it even from the highway, just passing by.

The Roman Catholic Church is one of the few attractions of Wolin, one of the oldest Polish cities.

A gothic church, rebuilt after the war damages relatively not long ago, in the '90s of the twentieth century. It is worth seeing because this place is connected with the history of the Christianization of these lands. Nice stained glass windows in the windows, unfortunately the decor is already contemporary. There is no main altar, characteristic of this type of building. You can enter the galleries.

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.
