Great to be able to go down into a burial mound! Interesting lecture. Maybe could put a baja-maja there for the time being.

A nice short stop worth a visit if you are passing by. It is a tunnel with one view point in the end and outside you can take a fika under roof while being outside.

An excellent well preserved ancient site from the bronze age. The level of conservation and access to the burial is beyond a shadow of a doubt well planned and executed. A fun time was had by the entire family during our visit.

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.
