"These castle ruins are truly magnificent - and I don't just mean the walls! With their imposing towers and mysterious basements, you feel like you're in a medieval adventure film. But, and that's a big but, if you want to take a break and enjoy the view , where is the seating if you want to unpack your refreshing drink? Maybe they should introduce a "knight's lounge" with picnic blankets and cooler bags - then you could really relax like a king while admiring the view of this majestic ruin! "

The approach to the ruins of the castle could be better marked, but a charming place. Free entrance and folders on site. Nice view of the Main.

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.
