Beautiful historic village church as Friesland knows so many. An interior with beautiful old wooden gentlemen's benches. It is nice that the community xan this church is still active in the nilkeaster initiative, a religious community where everyone is welcome.

I knew the name Jorwerd from the book by Geert Mak with the title - how God disappeared from Jorwerd- He describes the changes in the village of Jorwerd between 1945 and 1995. Now that I'm cycling the eleven cities in Friesland, I decided to visit Jorwerd. The robust church on a terp surrounded by ancient tombstones. This church is also on the cover of the book ? by Geert Mak. A small place in the middle of a beautiful nature reserve.

Statues of saints in the beautiful church bought for next to nothing. Great atmosphere and what a wide choice.. and what a nice village Jorwert is. God has not disappeared from Jorwert at all. His "signature" is clearly visible. What a peaceful village. Geert Mak was wrong. God is clearly present here.

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.
