A castle preserved by the municipality of Roost Warendin which deserves your visit when it opens. Next slot, the Heritage Days in September.

Surprising and exciting, this pretty castle is worth the detour! Built in the middle of the 18th century, it has been restored (parquet, marquetry and grisaille paintings are from the period). Emptied of its furniture by the former owners, it now houses a museum "of ancient times" with reconstructions of daily life at the beginning of the 20th century. Thank you to the person from the town hall for the guided tour which was as interesting as it was friendly.

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.
