Very very beautiful little church with good sound. But at funerals, there is probably not much room for those who have to lift the coffin. Perhaps a "dog" specially made for chests would solve the problem.

Beautiful church. It's a small one, but I've loved it my entire life. There's just something about it

Jyllinge Kirke ligger ud til Roskilde Fjord 12 km nord for Roskilde. Den romanske kirke er bevaret i sin oprindelige udstrækning med apsis, kor og skib bygget af rå og delvis kløvede kampesten og med hjørner af granitkvadre. Der er tre gotiske tilbygninger, tårn, våbenhus og kapel. Prædikestolen fra 1618 er fra Brix Snedker i Roskilde. Døbefonten af granit er middelalderlig. Jyllinge Kirke hørte i middelalderen under Æbelholt Kloster, som var efterfølgeren efter det kloster, der indtil 1175 lå på Eskildsø. Den munk eller præst der var bestyrer på klosterets ladegård på Eskildsø forretede gudstjenesten. Efter reformationen kom Kirken i kongens eje og den lå under Roskildegård. I 1687 solgtes den. Jyllinge Kirke med annekskirken Gundsømagle kom i 1763 til Hegnstrupgård. Her blev de til de overgik til selveje i 1920.

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.
