For me, this cathedral seems one of the most beautiful among many cathedrals I saw in Europe. The combination of tainted glass windows, beautiful sculpture composition in the front, the higher airy ceiling, and beautiful signing create a very touching experience. You may also ascend to the roof for the price of a donation. The view from the top is amazing. Try to come here on a sunny day by 10am the cathedral is just open, and a few people are there. Your experience will be unforgettable.

Very nice cathedral in Occitanie. The lifts to the cathedral could be stuck so would recommend only using the stairs to get there.

This cathedral is special owing to its unique history and iconic position in Beziers. Beautiful inside with a fantastic tower that you can climb.

The 163 steps up to the bell tower are tough going but worth it. To get to the cathedral from the river look out for the lifts!

Wonderful gothic cathedral on top of a hill with a majestic view of the river and beyond. When the sun is setting it lights through the huge stained glass window and shines on the gold angel statue. Great design. Watch out for the carving above the altar depicting the two saints entering heaven. Stunning.

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.
