The DPSG Eichstätt's peace light sending ceremony is always a moving event.

Lovingly restored monastery complex with church ⛪️ and monastery buildings. There are some schools here within the historic walls. You can see here how old things can be combined with modern ones. You have a wonderful view of the castle from the bus station.

Only seen from afar, once from the historic Rebdorf footbridge and once from the top of the Rebdorfer Schulweg

Super restored Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Missionaries. The buildings now house two diocesan high school students, which is why the new buildings are also there.

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.
