Very beautiful castle, you can't visit it from the inside, but it's very nice to look at from the outside when combined with a walk

Beautifully located - although not visible from the road. Surrounded by a park and a pond. Amazing village buildings under the castle. The castle itself is charming. However, it is inhabited, I have the impression that "ordinary people" cannot visit it.

Very nicely maintained castle. Unfortunately you cannot visit it as it is privately inhabited. So all that remains is the pretty view from the outside.

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.
