Very beautiful church, not far from the center of Leeuwarden. The church is worth a visit as part of a visit to Leeuwarden. The façade and construction were very interesting. One of the most beautiful churches in the Northern Netherlands. There is a nice atmosphere here, impressively beautiful.

Stumbled into the church last Sunday and joined the communion service. Did not understand the Dutch language but enjoyed the experience. The congregation were very friendly as were the church officials. The interior of the church is as impressive as it is delightful. Well worth a visit.

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.
