Sorry we are closed. Despite google claiming it to be open, it was closed, obviously already for some time. The main building is in good shape from the outside, however a construction site around it.

Splendid structure for events or just to spend a couple of hours immersed in peace. In the historic residence there is the resort, the cafeteria, the restaurant, the wine shop and shops selling organic products. The bar is recommended for breakfasts, lunch breaks or aperitifs. The wine shop is full of wines from all over Italy, the menu includes platters of local cured meats and cheeses. Advised!

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.
