A truly vibrant and complete gallery of Bror Hjorth's work, a very satisfying visit even for those who know nothing about him, with lovely welcoming and knowledgeable staff, just remember to put shoe covers on! Strongly recommended

I've been there plenty of times now, and I always loved it. The last time was yesterday, with my baby son for the children's tour. The people working there are super friendly. While we waited for the tour to start, I had fika while the super nice women working at the front desk "talked" to my son. The tour was nice, thank you, Maria!

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.
