A small historical monument "Château de Niederstinzel" left to its sad fate, surrounded by a river and an organic farm. Very nice view in the distance, parcontre path inaccessible for the disabled, strollers or others. The only way to get there is on foot and a few jumps to pass because there are trenches around. Otherwise I advise you not to approach it because of the risk of falling rocks. Considering his condition. A question bothers me, where are the debris that fell??? No trace...

It's not worth going especially for it. Passing by, you can look in, grabbing a couple of sandwiches. Nature and good view guaranteed!

I have known this castle for a very long time and I find it a pity that no association takes care of this historic work. And for others there are thousands of euros (notre dames) thank you.

Place in the countryside, abandoned, too bad because a few years ago people participated in the restoration ....

Could not get to castle due to an electric fence. Couldn't see a way to visit a bit disappointing.

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.
