The main sight in Őriszentpéter is the Romanesque memorial church, built around 1230, then expanded in the 14th-15th century in Gothic style and converted into a fortress about 1550. The western portal is worthy of attention. The mediaeval church was decorated with frescoes, not only inside, but also outside. Most of them have been destroyed, just a few fragments have survived on the south outer wall. In the 17th century, quotations from the Bible were painted on the wall in the nave and the sanctuary, and these can still be seen today. The interior furnishings were produced to designs by church artist János Klonfár. A picture of St. Peter (Márton Michl,1801) is hung in the sanctuary. The church was last renovated in 2001.
References: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.
