Seeschloss Monrepos

Ludwigsburg, Germany

Monrepos is a lakeside palace in Ludwigsburg, Germany. Although quite far from and almost separate from Favorite Palace and Ludwigsburg Palace, by way of pedestrian paths it is connected to the rest of the grounds. It is one of the two minor palaces on the estate, along with the main one. The smaller ones were used as Hunting lodges. Of all three, this is the only one that is still owned by the royal family of Württemberg after their overthrow in 1918. Much of the land surrounding Monrepos and on the Royal part of the estate in general is now used as a golf course, unlike the State owned part, which is made up of parks and museums.

Since the 16th century, the dukes of Württemberg enjoyed hunting along the Eglosheimer Lake. In 1714, Duke Eberhard Ludwig had an octagonal pavilion, the 'Little Lake House', constructed on the northern shore.

Peaceful & Beautiful place ♥️

Excellent place to spend a relaxed Sunday ☀️! There’s good arrangement for parking. We mainly went there for paddle boating, but you can go for a walk, enjoy some coffee, or even have a picnic (if the weather permits). It’s really secluded from the city congestion, but also not very far away.

A good place for having a casual walk or a picnic. But the walking path wasn't the best. There were a lot of water puddles. There's a risk of slipping at some spots. Maybe it gets better when the sun is shining. They also offer boating in the lake at a fee. There's a direct bus from Ludwigsburg ZOB to this place which makes it accessible also by public transport. A car parking space is also available.

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.
