It is located in a nice, quiet place, on a small hilltop, unfortunately it was closed, we couldn't go inside.

Advance telephone consultation is required, but the locals are very kind

We visited this gem while searching for our memories of the Árpád era. We were lost in front of the gate, when a nice gentleman came and let us into the church. The church is also beautiful from the inside, the original frescoes have been wonderfully preserved. Anyone interested in our past should definitely visit here.

Such an interesting little church! You can see the layers of its centuries of history preserved on the wall frescoes. A must see if you are in the area, even if medieval churches are not your interest. It has that sort of character that makes you feel like you’ve discovered something off the beaten path.

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.
