Eksjö Church

Eksjö, Sweden

Eksjö Church was built in the later part of the 19th century to the designs of architect J. F. Åbom. Much of the inventory was retained from the earlier church that stood on the site, whose structure is partly incorporated. The altarpiece and pulpit are both 17th century works. The organ facade dates from the 18th century. The church is a popular venue for organ recitals. It stands in the heart of the town.

Eksjö Church is a nice white church building. Incredibly beautiful inside with bright colors. Feels very harmonious. The church is located on the main square on the other side of the Stadshotellet. The clock tower appears from afar. Especially the design of the back appealed to me a lot and nice trees decorate the small place around the church. There is a memorial stone on one side and a disabled ramp.

Eksjö Church is a nice white church building. Located by the main square on the other side of the City Hotel. The bell tower appears from afar. The special design of the back appealed to me a lot and nice trees adorn the little place around the church. There is a memorial stone on one side and a handicap ramp.

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.
