One of the most interesting buildings in Slanské. The roof from the 15th century is also not often seen. Unfortunately, the city management sees it differently and that is why it is only open thanks to the voluntary activity of people, especially around the Parish Charity Slaný. Dik belongs to them.

A beautiful Gothic church built on the site of an earlier Romanesque basilica. I also recommend a tour of the interior (there are open days throughout the year).

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.
