Again one where is not accessible, too bad. Is privately owned. Is well preserved. Otherwise optically in good shape. I would say small and fine.

A small and beautiful old castle. The castle is situated on a small hill in the village of Buchenbach, south of Mulfingen. The castle is also known as Buchenbach Castle. It doesn't matter whether it's a palace or a castle, for me it's just beautiful. ( P R I V A T OPERATIONS )

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.
