A sweaty climb (bicycle), but the view and the sight of the castle are impressive. It was not possible to visit the castle.
Jürgen Großhans (2 years ago)
Very nice property, but no entry possible as it is private.

You can also find such a private castle while collecting mushrooms. There have been nicer days, but an attractive location.

Very impressive building in great condition (as far as an assessment is possible). I think it's great that this castle has survived the centuries to tell of its eventful and incredible history. I recommend the Wikipedia article on the castle to everyone.

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.
