Very friendly welcome. Invested guide. We learned a lot of things on the site. It would be good for the state to think about providing subsidies to resume excavations. Conference on 05.24.25 at the Louiac village hall at 2:00 p.m.

Very old wine estate since the site includes a 4th century Gallo-Roman villa with magnificent mosaics as well as an old 12th century chapel Possible 1-hour visit by the passionate owner Very good wine and very warm welcome I did a tasting there with friends on the occasion of the 27th Loupiac and foie gras des landes days. We went from domain to domain by bike...!

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.
