Kristineberg Palace

Stockholm, Sweden

Kristineberg Palace in Kungsholmen was built around 1750 for the businessman R. Schröder. The palace was surrounded by parks and the property included a great deal of the surrounding land. In 1864 the property was bought by the Swedish Freemasonry and additional construction on the palace was made. Stockholm City bought the land in 1921 and started building the Kristineberg district, and today part of the palace is used as a school.

Amazing place. So much history and culture to pick up and absorb. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and always happy to share information about the palace. The very visible pride, dedication and eagerness of the staff humming about the place (and with Gusto!) makes the visit here just that much more exciting. Tip: Ask questions and take in the experience.

Absolutely stunning interior! The rooms are so elegant and the colors are amazing. I would also reccomend checking the schedule to see when the changing of the guards takes place, very neat thing to watch! I would definitely reccomend visiting!

A very nice and royal place. You can feel the royal atmosphere. The courtyard is not so big but still is worth visiting.

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.
