No spectacular, but nice church. However, spectacularly incompetent church musicians and sound technicians. The church musician often plays very uncertainly and incorrectly at both funerals and weddings. Would rather be without music at my funeral than let him play. Then we have the sound engineer who is both extremely unpleasant and does not seem to have the faintest idea of ​​how neither a microphone nor sound and acoustics work. He works actively to ensure that the church (which actually has fine acoustics) is filled with roundabouts and he does not compensate by being pleasant or pleasant. He has both insulted and sworn at me at funerals and is usually extremely careless, unpleasant and unpleasant. It is embarrassing that the church, which is financed by the church tax, employs such staff when there are many competent people waiting for jobs.

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.
