Church of St. The Trinity Church in Strzelno is a basilica by its architectural foundation, today we know that it still retains Romanesque features, although it was Gothicized and Baroque. The most important altar in the church is the altar of the Holy Cross, which was formerly the main altar. By the way, it is worth mentioning that there are as many as 658 relics of saints and martyrs there; there are more only at Wawel in Krakow. The church, a valuable historical monument with very well-preserved Romanesque columns (vices and virtues), as well as tympana. It is a must to visit it, preferably with a guide, because then all the places, artifacts and curiosities are at your fingertips - an open church. It is worth adding that Archbishop Stanisław Gądecki was an altar boy in this church.

We do not have many monuments of this class in Poland, Romanesque art as a medicine. Value, watch and delight!

Church of the Holy Trinity and the Blessed Virgin Mary in Strzelno. He belonged to the Norbertine abbey. The construction of the church from granite cubes began in the 12th century and was not completed until the mid-13th century. In 1216 his solemn consecration took place. A historical monument from 2018. TV

Miejsce polecane do zobaczenia. Dla pasjonatów historii i nie tylko. Mona tu poczuć magię dawnych czasów.

Baroque front. And the side walls have retained the Romanesque and Gothic elements. There are many antique elements in the interior. And the famous Romanesque columns. The monument is underestimated

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.
