Historical monument at the foot of the Ciron at the Trave bridge

Very beautiful place overlooking the Ciron. When the sun is out, the shine of the stones shimmers around the wildlife. It lacks the historical documentation of the place, it is a pity. Explanatory panels would be welcome. Parking nearby. Possibility of getting to the edge of Ciron by stairs, holding hands with young children. Accessible to everyone.

For lovers of old stones, a peaceful place on the edge of the Ciron.

Magnificent romantic ruins. This place dear to Léo Drouyn has lost none of its beauty, and is located in a relatively peaceful setting with a pretty view.

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.
