Nice place

Horbelev church is without a doubt the church in Denmark that has the best priest in Denmark ? Mette Marie is always well behaved and accommodating to everyone ? The church is always decorated with flowers and lights ?? there is a fantastic atmosphere in the church, it feels nice to be in church. The church is opposite the vicarage and a small forest. Very beautiful church and cemetery, the cemetery is always neat and tidy ? definitely a visit, especially if Mette Marie holds a church service, Mette Marie can light up an entire church room with her fantastic aura. ? if all churches had a priest, like Mette Marie, the churches would quickly be full. ? We thank you on behalf of us and our nurse, for your attendance ?

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.
