Beautiful and easily accessible castle ruins. Great views from here and the other nearby viewing points. Part of a wonderful vitality tour that we went on a few years ago. A nice little rainbow was visible at the end today. Only a few pictures were taken with my smartphone, as is often the case with an “adult” camera. Whether I will publish the pictures taken with it depends entirely on whether I forget it after editing or not... ?

Small, fine castle ruins. Parking possible at the hiking car park below the ruins. Information board and seating available. The facility is maintained on a voluntary basis. Sour, neat.

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.
