The St. Martin garrison church of Dresden was the garrison church of Albertstadt, which had been created as a military town for much of the Saxon army.

One of the most beautiful churches I’ve seen in Europe. With so much details in the structure. Google says it is closed but the door was open and people were inside.

Such a beautiful church! A bit out of city center, but it worth visiting if you have time. The church was open to visit, even though in the Google said it was already close due to the time. It's quite small the visiting area inside, but it's very beautiful. When I visit the outside needed some maintenance, I hope they will take more care of it.

A very beautiful and serene church at a very beautiful location. The interior architecture is so mesmerizing. The church is open for visiting from 12:00 to 17:00. The historical church is very old but well maintained making it one masterpiece of art.

I can not believe this church is not more talked about. It is absolutely breathtaking. Has such a uniqueness to it that isn't seen often.

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.
