It is a three-nave Gothic basilica dedicated to Saint Mauritius with Romanesque elements. The oldest part of the church dates back to the 9th century, the time when the city was founded. Its current condition dates back to 1234, making it the oldest surviving building in Ingolstadt.the church has only one tower of 70m, but it is located directly next on the wall of the whistler tower and behind the rathaus. the entrance ia not from the main street so you have to go behind the rathaus and open a big bronze door. inside the columns are majestic and the altars are from old bavarian gothic style.a must visit.

From the outside, the church stands out with its very different towers. They are not placed next to each other, but rather at the ends. Inside, I particularly like the altar, which is decorated in silver and gold, and the colorful stained glass windows behind it.

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.
