It is a three-nave Gothic basilica dedicated to Saint Mauritius with Romanesque elements. The oldest part of the church dates back to the 9th century, the time when the city was founded. Its current condition dates back to 1234, making it the oldest surviving building in Ingolstadt.the church has only one tower of 70m, but it is located directly next on the wall of the whistler tower and behind the rathaus. the entrance ia not from the main street so you have to go behind the rathaus and open a big bronze door. inside the columns are majestic and the altars are from old bavarian gothic style.a must visit.

From the outside, the church stands out with its very different towers. They are not placed next to each other, but rather at the ends. Inside, I particularly like the altar, which is decorated in silver and gold, and the colorful stained glass windows behind it.

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.
