Luua Manor, Palamuse, Estonia

The manor house was first mentioned in 1519 and it has been linked with the Ludens, von Strömfelds, von Münnichs and von Oettingens. The one-storey Baroque main building was completed (on the basis of a middle-age building) in 1736; the building was made longer in the 19th century. The building has kept its two-storey form that it got in the 1950s. The building was renovated in 1997-2000 and is now used by a vocational school.

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.
