The Fatih Mosque, built between 1463 and 1470 on the site of the Church of the Holy Apostles, was severely damaged in the 1766 earthquake and rebuilt in 1771 with a different design. It is named after Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror, who captured Constantinople in 1453.
The original mosque had a central dome supported by a single semi-dome, while the rebuilt version follows a Baroque style with a square plan, a central dome, and four semi-domes. Only the courtyard, entrance portal, and lower minarets remain from the original. The interior mimics designs by Sinan, with a 26-meter dome, large marble columns, and two minarets. The calligraphy and mimbar show Baroque influences, but the tiles lack the grandeur of İznik ceramics. The original mihrab survives.
As an imperial külliye, the mosque complex included eight symmetrical medreses, once accommodating a thousand students. A dervish inn, featuring salvaged columns from the Church of the Holy Apostles, stands southeast of the mosque, facing the türbe of Nakşidil Sultan, mother of Mahmud II.
The graveyard holds the tombs of Sultan Mehmed II and Gülbahar Hatun, reconstructed after the earthquake. The lavishly decorated tomb of Mehmed II was a ceremonial site for new sultans after receiving the Sword of Osman. The graveyard also houses notable figures, including Gazi Osman Pasha and historian Halil İnalcık.
Attached to the mosque is the Carullah Efendi Library, built in 1724 and currently under restoration. The külliye's original hospital, market, kitchens, and bathhouse have been lost, but the caravanserai was restored in the 1980s and now functions as a workplace.
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.
