Kellereischloss

Hammelburg, Germany

Kellereischloss is a palace in Hammelburg, Bavaria. The Baroque style palace was be translated as 'Wine Cellar Castle'. Kellereischloss was designed and built between 1726 and 1731 by Andrea Gallasini [de] (1681-1766), architect to the court of Adolphus von Dalberg, Prince-Abbot of Fulda. The site had been a wine cellar, and the seat of a tax collector, since 1279. The Prince-Abbot now desired a summer residence. It seems to have been to his satisfaction; for, in 1737, he died there.

The giant cellars under Kellereischloss could, at the high point of wine production in Hammelburg at the end of the 18th century, store 101 wine barrels with a total capacity of more than 700,000 litres.

You can go into the inner square, near the entrance there is a sign for the toilet, you need to go diagonally to the left from the entrance. Like everything in this city, it is well maintained and in good appearance and condition.

Winzerkeller: Great celebration location, also with a lounge area to chill out. However, with a room temperature of 13° at the beginning of March, it was a bit chilly ? The public toilet facilities directly in the archway next to the entrance to the wine cellar were renovated and were clean. However, the sewer smells - even though the sewage pipes were replaced ??‍♀️?

Beautiful castle. I recommend seeing it. A beautiful, small moat around the church

Very well located, not far from the highway. Ideal for a stopover. If you don't absolutely have to, you shouldn't use the sanitary facilities?. It's good that you have everything in your motorhome. ?

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.
