Nice sacred place, must be visited. Many famous people tombs here. Holy Trinity Alexander Nevskiy Lavra is a monastery located in the surroundings of St. Peterburg, you can reach it by city transport easily.The Cathedral features a large dome and two bell towers - very impressive inside and out.

I loved it, typecall for the time perriod and artistic. I also saw other cemeteries in the surroundings of the monastery and all together they are very beautiful. Some more in decay than others. All have Russian cultural element and I spent some hours exploring.

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.
