Glory be to God our Father and His Son Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour forever who liveth amongst us through His Holy Spirit. Amen For God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son,Jesus Christ, that whoever believes in Him will be saved. It is as the scripture says- he who believes( in Jesus Christ)- from him will flow streams of living water. May the living waters flow forth from this church! Amen

#28Weert St Martins church from the 15 Century. Was closed even though the bells were ringing out I could not get in - on a Sunday. So I guess it's only open for service. Aparently the vault paintings are worth a view. #railthetrails

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.
