Sant'Eufemia Church

Verona, Italy

The church of Sant'Eufemia is an ancient church in Verona. A church at the site was likely present by the 11th or 12th centuries, although the main layout we see today was completed only in the 14th century. In the interior, altarpieces were completed by Brusasorci and Giovanni Domenico Cignaroli. In the 14th century Spolverini chapel, there is a canvas and frescos by Giovanni Francesco Caroto. The gothic belltower contains six bells in F rung with the Veronese bellringing art.

You have to pay ticket to get inside, you might accept offer from Pellegrini and not charge the entrance. Shame!

One of the Most Incredible Catholic churches I ever visited, and I visit lot of churches, through my journeys along the years. It is truly Good mood out and inside, even if you're not a Catholic, you will feel the presence of God inside. The beauty of the Arts.. More than an Art museum, and it's a Local Church.. All and All, the Believers are nice and Welcoming, the Priests are inviting and curious where you're coming from. Highly recommend

Fantastic church in Verona. I loved exploring and enjoyed th silence and quiet of the place. I also liked the attention to the sanitisation of the space.

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.
