Liebes Presbyterium! Da habt ihr euch ein Eigentor geschossen: mehr als Vierteljahr, also von Januar bis Sonntag Palmare, KEINE Gottesdienste in einer der zentralen Gottesdienststätten der Stadtmitte - wann hat es das jemals in der Geschichte der Alexanderskirche gegeben?!? Und alle Älteren, Menschen mit Rollator bzw. mit sonstigen Gebrechen sollen dann ausweichen können in die Versöhnungskirche ?! Ein Unding wie ich meine... N.B. dazwischen liegen immerhin 55 m Höhenunterschied!

Very beautiful church in the city center. Clean, bright and spacious. Catholic. On the day when we visited the church next to it, a bus arrived on the square with children's toys like they used to be at fairs. Cars, stilts, crossbow, slide. It was interesting not only for children

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.
