The museum has two buildings: the main one which you can access with the Museum Card and another remote one where you have to pay €5 for a guided tour. When I arrived at the main museum, a family was going out with the woman from the museum to take my guided tour and they invited me to join them. It was a very pleasant experience, the house to visit is a typical home of a middle peasant from the 19th century.

We were there on a Sunday at 12 o’clock, everything was closed, I can’t say anything. Maybe we need to make arrangements in advance?

I really liked porridge day or soup day, that is what the peasants used to eat. A lot of new and interesting things. Friendly, kind family and delicious food. Worth going. ?

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.
