Impresionante monasterio con mucha historia. Vale la pena la visita al claustro y la iglesia.

An imposing building that surprises the visitor. A vestige of a splendid past, with an annexed church that, once inside, pleasantly surprises with its state of preservation and the beautiful stone walls and columns. Some medieval tombstones and a column with a notable deviation from verticality stand out. An inexcusable visit for those who want to know the Comarca de los Oscos.

The journey to Villanueva de Oscos is in itself an idleness, and the town, being rural and very rugged, exudes nature, in addition to being very well equipped for how small it is. Very close and friendly people. A discovery of the unknown Asturias.

It must have been impressive. After the blows of history, it is incredible that he is still standing. Simple and free tour of the galleries and remains of buildings. Highly recommended. It would be the perfect place for a hotel, which would allow the building to be preserved. It is my opinion.

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.
