Beautiful place to visit

An excellent place if you are ok with a simple but very affordable room in the hotel wing of the monastery. Very clean and quiet place with stunning view over the city. The breakfast is very good.

Beautiful and seen place. The church is a must see, the garden also. The cafe is big and was very busy. But stunning views. A great place to either meet a friend for a coffee or to contemplate.

We went there for a conference with my husband and our two toddlers. We have a good attention, and they provide us want we need. I woul say is family friendly, but need more playground or something for kids.

By far the best hotel in Fulda and surroundings! The location is perfect, especially when you have a room overlooking the city and the breakfast is good. The rooms are in the monastery itself, which is beautifully kept alive, with monks still living there. The walk down to the city is a long one, but worth it. I wouldn't think of another place to stay in Fulda.

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.
