A neo-Gothic church in Vaduz, it was built in 1873. It's majestic standing in the centre of the city. No fee to view inside, and it's definitely worth going inside.

This is one of the main tourist attractions in the city of Vaduz. Entrance is free and not restricted. Inside of the cathedral is extremely silent and clam and the interior is beautifully designed. There's nothing much to do in this city. If you plan to visit Vaduz, don't forget to add this location to your itenerary.

Nice to visit but apart from this church there aren't many things to see, especially, the Schloss is not open for public. It's kind of a boring town. And seems some tourists just come here for the passport stamp.

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.
