What a beauuuuuuutiful church! It feels like you are just at the right place and in the right moment. The wooden floor feels very cozy and the church smells amazing. The painting is truly gorgeous and I am so glad we could walk in on a Friday night. You feel so welcome thanks to the warm light and I hope to come back some day to hear the impressive organ. Absolutely worth a visit!

Norra Sandsjö Church is a fine white church building with a lovely separate large wooden bell tower. Large airy cemetery with fine old trees that give a pleasant and calm feeling. The interior of the church is special with incredible paintings on the ceiling and walls. In addition, impressive furnishings and decorations. There is a disabled toilet in the church building.

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.
