The Château of Coudray-Montpensier, a former castellany under Montsoreau, is located on the road connecting Chinon to Seuilly, surrounded by fields and vineyards. The history of Coudray-Montpensier dates back to the Middle Ages (11th century). The estate was owned by successive noble families and lineages: the Montsoreau, the Marmande, the Sainte Maure, the Artois, the Bournan, the Bourbon, the Escoubleau, the de Vallière, and finally the Lamote-Baracé family.
The current château was built in the 14th century and significantly enhanced in the 15th century. In the 18th century, architect Anjubault designed the three garden terraces north of the château. Today, the château serves as a venue for hospitality, dining, and events.
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.
