Walls of Constantinople
The Walls of Constantinople are a series of stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul in Turkey) since its founding as the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire by Constantine the Great to the present day. With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they are one of the greatest and most complex fortification systems ever built.
