Inside Private homes. You can peek here and there

Beautiful but left to decay
Loredana Sproniero (6 years ago)
What the hell have you seen? A ruin abandoned for years where there is nothing and you cannot even enter.
Luigi Greco (Salento Messapico) (6 years ago)
Beautiful sixteenth-century manor house, the only one in Salento that still has its original structure without any alterations, made up of four square-plan towers. The moat remained the touch for just over half of its original structure, still has the caves that housed the wild beasts that were freed in case of invasion

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.
