Domus Romana

Peschiera del Garda, Italy

In Peschiera del Garda is possibile to find the rests of a roman village, of the end of the 1st century BC. Scholars think that this area is the “roman victus” of the “Arilica”, that is the boat association which managed the shipyard traffic of the South Lake Garda. The main excavations were between 1974 and 1981, by the regional board of the ministry of cultural heritage and environmental conservation of Veneto.

We stayed here from 8 to 10 November on the occasion of the Verona horse fair which can be reached in 15 minutes and we had a great time. The apartment is very nice and clean and is located 50 meters away. from the square with free parking (pass provided by the owners). It is in the center of Peschiera del Garda, so you can go out on foot to reach nearby bars and restaurants. We will definitely be back! Thanks to Egle for the kind availability.

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.
