What a beauuuuuuutiful church! It feels like you are just at the right place and in the right moment. The wooden floor feels very cozy and the church smells amazing. The painting is truly gorgeous and I am so glad we could walk in on a Friday night. You feel so welcome thanks to the warm light and I hope to come back some day to hear the impressive organ. Absolutely worth a visit!

Norra Sandsjö Church is a fine white church building with a lovely separate large wooden bell tower. Large airy cemetery with fine old trees that give a pleasant and calm feeling. The interior of the church is special with incredible paintings on the ceiling and walls. In addition, impressive furnishings and decorations. There is a disabled toilet in the church building.

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.
