It's a lovely hike through woods. Some parts of the path are very steep, but even if you're not in a particularly good shape (like yours truly) it's more than manageable. We left the car in the village, in front of the church, and it took us about an hour to reach the ruins on foot. The first part of the path is really lovely, it's mostly in the shade and offers views of lovely fields. The part that goes up through the wood is also very lovely, it's very peaceful and quiet.

Quite a well-preserved building. Solidly marked access hiking trail, perhaps a little neglected.

Wonderful and worth a visit After thirty minutes of easy walking along the hill with a well-marked hiking trail, there is a reward in the form of a long forgotten tower that is so close to Nova Gradiška and so unknown and forgotten.

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.
