Very beautiful church with an architectural style a little different from what we are used to seeing. There is also a lovely fresco inside which depicts ancient inhabitants. Otherwise the surroundings of the church are not bad either with beautiful cypresses and a work of art further down. To pray the place is very quiet, there are churches where this is unfortunately no longer the case. In short, a beautiful monument to be appreciated in all its splendor.

Quite peculiar building because it perfectly preserves its wooden roof. The frescoes and details of its interior draw your attention, transporting you to medieval times.

Very nice little Catholic church, we went to visit it at the end of the day and the stained glass windows made the atmosphere inside very calm. From the outside, the church is also very beautiful, however I find that the town hall could highlight it even more.

Very beautiful church located in the town of Clisson in Loire-Atlantique. This building in the center of the town is really in its place in this fortified place. The interior is just very beautiful, the nave beautifully painted, and the framework of the ceiling is really very well worked. This is a place you have to come and visit if you are in the area. The people of this city are lucky to have a beautiful religious building to meditate.

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.
