Dzialdowo Castle

Dzialdowo, Poland

Teutonic Knights conquered the Dzialdowo region and built a castle in the early 14th century. A wing of the castle still remains. The new settlement near the castle founded by Mikołaj z Karbowa and named Soldov was granted town privileges on 14 August 1344 by the Grand Master Ludolf König. The name Dzialdoff was first written on a 1409 map during the Polish–Lithuanian–Teutonic War.

A small museum, but what caught my attention was the exhibition of the Polish People's Republic

Poorly. It used to be a museum - wow, now it's poor. The idea of ​​tickets being purchased only at the castle's ticket office is wrong. As usual, we arrived at the Museum, and the lady at the "box office"(?) told us that we had to go 400m to the castle to buy tickets. Oh well. You are a museum "on the way", so we didn't want to waste time looking for ticket offices and dealing with a local visit, and we went to the Museum of the Battle of Grunwald. Pity. If there is a person at the entrance to the Museum of the Teutonic State anyway, why can't he sell tickets? I don't understand your idea. Maybe we'll come back someday, but for now you need an extra half an hour and luck to find a parking space both at the castle and at the town hall. Too much hassle. The second star out of sentiment for something you were in the past.

A baroque building in the very center of the city, on Adam Mickiewicz Square, built in the 18th century. It houses some departments of the City Hall, as well as the multimedia museum of the State of the Order of the Hospital of the Blessed Virgin Mary of the German House in Jerusalem.

Two stars for the fact that 10 years ago it was certainly a modern museum. Now, unfortunately, it is very different from many that I currently visit. There seems to be a lack of resources. Computers broken, projectors display films so that you can barely see them. Several things didn't work at once. When one person turns on the movie, it's hard for the other to focus, because everything "talks" at the same time - there are no headphones. The big screen in the last room was burnt... It was a multimedia museum - but 10 years ago. It's a pity, because there's a lot of knowledge to share. It's really sad that no one is subsidizing it.

Interesting museum on the first floor, a lot of interactive exhibits, a large interactive mock-up of the Battle of Grunwald. It is a pity that so many exhibits do not work. In the attic, a fantastic place for children, with many attractions for larger and smaller children. Worth a visit and a hidden and little advertised place.

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.
