The cemetery around the church was absolutely beautiful.

Nice and beautiful church, with a good priest

Nice little church, just a shame that two Christmas trees covered the bride and groom, so we couldn't see them during the wedding. Sincerely Birth

There is nothing that beckons like Idestrup in folk clothes, races, ages and all genders. Mosegaarden's children and a single, young and well-groomed man stand in front of the church and wait for today's protagonists to step out with a clear conscience. God has just told them that it may well be that they do not believe in him. But he believes in them. He repeats this just in case, before the children become first young, then adults and later completely impossible. No matter what. The Almighty sits in the sidecar for the rest of his life. No strings attached, as they say abroad.

The church was closed but the cemetery around it was absolutely beautiful.

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.
