The place is really pleasant, very spacious room which really highlights the works and paintings. The park is magnificent with its majestic trees. The staff was really very professional and pleasant. We came to see the exhibition of drawings and paintings made by children from different schools in the town of Eysines. A super nice visit, my grandson was delighted that we came to see his magnificent drawing

Very pretty exterior Unfortunately the room where the ceremonies take place is a large white room with chairs and two paintings. It lacks decoration.

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.
