TOUR ITINERARY Meet you up at your location. THE WALLS OF CONSTANTINOPLE, are also known as the Theodosian walls or Byzantine walls. You can see the ruins here and there.

When finished, the Theodosian Walls were almost 7 km (over 4 miles) in length. With periodic repairs, they defended the city effectively until the late 19th century. ST.
