Always nice to see the great collection of paintings by master copied Janssen. Impressive that someone masters so many painting styles.

Special place. Extensive exhibition of the work of Geert Jan Jansen. He has had his studio and home in this castle for years. The building needs a restoration on the inside soon!

The paintings made by Geert Jan are of very high quality. Indistinguishable from 'real', 'real' between quotation marks, because what Geert Jan painters is really of high quality.

Odeon of Herodes Atticus

The Odeon of Herodes Atticus is a stone theatre structure located on the southwest slope of the Acropolis of Athens. It was built in 161 AD by the Athenian magnate Herodes Atticus in memory of his wife, Aspasia Annia Regilla. It was originally a steep-sloped theater with a three-story stone front wall and a wooden roof made of expensive cedar of Lebanon timber. It was used as a venue for music concerts with a capacity of 5,000. It lasted intact until it was destroyed and left in ruins by the Heruli in 267 AD.

The audience stands and the orchestra (stage) were restored using Pentelic marble in the 1950s. Since then it has been the main venue of the Athens Festival, which runs from May through October each year, featuring a variety of acclaimed Greek as well as International performances.
