A Castle under everyone's eyes that few observe and that deserves to be observed! The castle also presents itself as a hotel residence and information can be found on the website. Almost hidden by vegetation it allows for a very appreciable view of the city of Bolzano. Nearby there is a bunker which, seen from above, is in line with a cross and the bell tower of the church of San Paolo.... a beautiful vision and a profound contrast of meanings!!!!

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.
