Awesome. Although we were only able to visit it from the outside. We will return another time. It dates from the 16th-17th centuries. The cemetery is next door

Striking church at the top of Lierganes. Magnificent construction that defies the vicissitudes of time and emerges imperiously over this atemporal village. Wonderful views on the Pas valley.

I am in front of it and I have been surprised by its beauty and monumentality... the shame is that I have not been able to visit it inside. Although there is a small hill, it is worth visiting.

Beautiful Renaissance style church

We didn't have the opportunity to visit it because it was closed. It has a sober and large building, well restored.

Argos Theater

The ancient Argos Theater was built in 320 BC. and is located in Argos, Greece against Larissa Hill. Nearby from this site is Agora, Roman Odeon, and the Baths of Argos. The theater is one of the largest architectural developments in Greece and was renovated in ca 120 AD.

The Hellenistic theater at Argos is cut into the hillside of the Larisa, with 90 steps up a steep incline, forming a narrow rectilinear cavea. Among the largest theaters in Greece, it held about 20,000 spectators and is divided by two landings into three horizontal sections. Staircases further divide the cavea into four cunei, corresponding to the tribes of Argos A high wall was erected to prevent unauthorized access into the theatron and may have helped the acoustics, but it is said the sound quality is still very good today.

Around 120 CE, both theaters were renovated in the Roman style.
