Great to be able to go down into a burial mound! Interesting lecture. Maybe could put a baja-maja there for the time being.

A nice short stop worth a visit if you are passing by. It is a tunnel with one view point in the end and outside you can take a fika under roof while being outside.

An excellent well preserved ancient site from the bronze age. The level of conservation and access to the burial is beyond a shadow of a doubt well planned and executed. A fun time was had by the entire family during our 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.
