The church of St. Peter was built between 1773-1778 to replace the earlier made in the 17th century. In the Middle Ages there was a chapel in the Karksi castle dedicated to apostle Peter. Some of the remaining walls of castle ruins were used in the construction of the present church. Karksi church is known of its slanting tower that due to bad soil has inclined one meter to the west.
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.
