Nice little church with a super sweet pastor.

It is not the impression "Danish village church" you get when you see Øster Ulslev Church for the first time. What you first notice is the octagonal spire in the middle of the roof. As far as is known, it was set up in 1694. The church is considered one of Lolland's elders, although one has no definite baptismal certificate for the church, so it is known that it was built in the Romanesque period from 1150 to 1300.

Very beautiful small village church, which is centrally located in the city. Built around the year 1225. The roof rider was added in 1693. The porch is from 1854 and replaced an older and somewhat larger one. Legend has it that a gentleman named Ugge has ruled Øster- and Vester Ulslev and with his ships had winter berths in both places, "for which credible characteristics can still be shown and about that there were more letters in the diocesan coffin, which here still stands in Øster Ulslev church , but were lost in the Swedish feud «. (The Swedes crossed the ice from Langeland to Lolland in 5-6 February 1658)

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.
