Old and beautiful medieval church. It probably has the country's oldest clock.

The venerable church building dedicated to St. Peter and St. Paulus from the year 1166 is a great starting point for trips to Rømua and Glomma.

Beautiful old church dating back to the 1100's. Was fun to see how my family originated from this region.

Flott gammel kirke fra 1100 tallet. Presten fortalte mye interessant om kirken. Flott akustikk for orgel musikk.

Roman Theatre

The Roman Theatre of Mérida is a construction promoted by the consul Vipsanius Agrippa in the Roman city of Emerita Augusta, capital of Lusitania (current Mérida). It was constructed in the years 16 to 15 BCE. One of the most famous and visited landmarks in Spain, the Roman Theatre of Mérida is regarded as a Spanish cultural icon and was chosen as one of the 12 Treasures of Spain.

The theatre has undergone several renovations, notably at the end of the 1st century or early 2nd century CE (possibly during the reign of Emperor Trajan), when the current facade of the scaenae frons was erected, and another in the time of Constantine I (between 330 and 340), which introduced new decorative-architectural elements and a walkway around the monument. Following the theatre"s abandonment in Late Antiquity, it was slowly covered with earth, with only the upper tiers of seats (summa cavea) remaining visible.
