Today we visited the church of St. Peter and Paul in Načeradec during the service celebrated by the vicar Lukáš Okurka, a beautiful mass in the historic Catholic booth.

The original Romanesque church dominates the square next to the town hall and the remains of the fortress. The oldest part is from around 1120. A fire in the 13th century meant a Gothic reconstruction. The most famous local monument is the Načerad missal from the end of the 13th century.

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.
