Everything is a ruin, they are raising the walls, there is nothing inside

Nice spot here to take in the surroundings. Nice walk there. You can taste the history. The contours of the castle are clearly visible, neat and clean. Beautiful views, despite the somewhat bad weather. Good view of the sea, good overview of the old town. Very quiet on the street.

Beautiful town of Maestrazgo. The castle fortress is very interesting, they are currently restoring it. If you are in the area, you cannot miss it.

The castle is a little hidden treasure, at the top of a charming town with very welcoming people. You can visit and walk around the whole thing, and we were told it was under restoration... At least the parts at risk were well protected. From the top you can enjoy an imposing view that is well worth the climb. Don't hesitate to stop for a bite and a drink at one of the village's eateries on your way down. We visited the castle at sunset, with wonderful light and stunning views of the surroundings. At night, the castle is lit up and the view from below is stunning!

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.
