Very beautiful building. You wished you could get closer so you could see more. You got a good walk as the castle is privately owned, so no cars are allowed to enter. Once at the castle, you followed the arrows that showed the loop around the castle

Now there is "traffic forbidden" sign 1 km away from the castle (on the road to the farm) and no parking next to it. Since it is unclear where it is actually allowed to walk we could not visit.

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.
