Very transformed but space that retains its prehistoric charm.

Unfortunately, it cannot be visited, a real shame. We have visited similar, and always someone to show it, but not in Spain....

It is not currently open and the attention they give in the office is terrible, they answer you angrily as if you offended them for asking when you will be able to visit the monument. In short, what happens in our land is a shame, both for not being able to see it because it is on private property, and for the sympathy of the attention.

Magical place of enormous cultural interest with possible access through the gate next to the agricultural path. Entry inside is not possible even when it is closed, there is a lack of care around it and the information signs are not very legible. Aoesar de tudo is worth a visit due to its state of conservation.

Wonderful Chalcolitic Tholos for which it is more than worth visiting Jerez de los Caballeros, a town that also has many other attractions to offer. Well restored and not signposted at all, you have to make an appointment at the tourist office. You can access the monument by car without problem if you go with children or people with reduced mobility.

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.
