A neo-Gothic church in Vaduz, it was built in 1873. It's majestic standing in the centre of the city. No fee to view inside, and it's definitely worth going inside.

This is one of the main tourist attractions in the city of Vaduz. Entrance is free and not restricted. Inside of the cathedral is extremely silent and clam and the interior is beautifully designed. There's nothing much to do in this city. If you plan to visit Vaduz, don't forget to add this location to your itenerary.

Nice to visit but apart from this church there aren't many things to see, especially, the Schloss is not open for public. It's kind of a boring town. And seems some tourists just come here for the passport stamp.

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.
