very beautiful moated castle from the 13th century. Privately owned, therefore not accessible, but nice to look at from the outside

A well-preserved moated castle from the 13th century. Not publicly accessible, but maybe that's why it's still in this 1A condition? A short walk around the lake is recommended. Very romantic.

You don't just drive past it, because this fairytale castle is not on a real street. The whole property is in great shape, the green areas of the park are very well maintained, you can walk around the whole moated castle and collect wonderful impressions or capture them in pictures. Our conclusion: this bike tour was also crowned with an absolute highlight.

A very beautifully landscaped and well-kept castle ? A true romantic idyll. The castle is looked after by the neighbors most of the year and always looks good. The entire facility is prepared with a lot of love. The private owners live in America and mainly use the castle as a residence in the summer months.

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.
