Fantastiska målningar. Måste ses.

Eine schöne Kirche mitten im Herzen von Fiskebäckskil. Die Kirche überragt alles und lädt zum Verweilen ein. Man kann sich das sehr aufwendig gestaltete Kirchenschiff mit Bemalungen vergleichbar eines Schiffsrumpfes anschauen. Es liegt ein sehr altes Buch zum Anschauen aus. Auf dem Friedhof sind etliche Seemänner des Ortes mit ihren Familien in großen Gruften begraben. Sehr zu empfehlen.

What an incredibly beautiful church! Wooden panelled interior with gorgeous, nautical paintings on every surface. The church sits on a hill overlooking the marina.

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.
