Wonderful that the old St Paul's Church has now been renovated under the auspices of the City Mission and opened its doors. Offers the cheapest lunch in town (SEK 20) and arranges various activities in the new premises.

Christian Hellman (2 years ago)
Well-prepared food for SEK 20! Nice atmosphere (premises and staff). Mixed crowd, sometimes quite loud. Super nice volunteers, thinking about running.

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.
