Stenberga was an ancient castle built probably in the 14th century. It was fist mentioned in 1389 and built probably by Jakob Abrahamsson, the bailiff of Turku. In 1438 the castle was donated as the site for Naantali Bridgettines Abbey, but in 1443 the abbey was decided to move to the Ailos. The castle was located to the rock hill near Masku River. There has probably been a 13 x 13m tower made of stone.
References: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.
