Säby Church is a bit difficult for me to describe. It is so beautiful inside and out. The ceiling with its paintings in all directions is adorable. The different departments feel so beautifully integrated as a whole. The atmosphere feels calm and pleasant. The cemetery with lawn has a section with old gravestones. The other part has beautiful rose bushes by the graves which look so lovely and harmonious. There is a disabled toilet in the cemetery and parking outside.

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.
