Fantastic scenery and at the same time a nice experience. As soon as you reach the castle you are in the 21st century of the Middle Ages ?. The hosts are very friendly and the service is great. The food is great. Reaching the room is a bit difficult, but that's just nagging at the highest level, because who can claim to have slept in a castle?? ☺️

This is an old nice castle, which is used as an hotel, surrounded from apple trees and vineyards. They have nice pool with a wonderful view. It is very difficult to get a hotel room, since a lot of people want to stay here.

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.
