Looking for a great Sunday lunch, we ended up here at Årsta Castle. The food is great, had lasagna which was really good. What I didn't like was that they didn't have a buffet. You got a plate with the food on and that's it. But I do understand too, because there wasn't many people eating. Great and beautiful outdoor seating, and a beautiful dekor inside.

Great food! We had lunch on a Sunday, a hand of options were available a la carte - husman dishes for 165 sek. The ambiance and the service are great, it seems to be the go to restaurant for the ones using the golf course. But it’s definitely worth the visit for those just passing by.

Nice and quiet, spacious and airy. Food is good quality and relatively inexpensive. Wine is boring but cheap.

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.
