It is very beautiful but is room for improvement.

Visited in the rain. Sublime ambiance. Is it possible to feel the past through architecture and nature? A wall with a plaque dedicated to Lord Kitchener pointed to the possibility of such a thing. Perhaps the brick heart shaped motives in the structures indicated a certain passion in the design. What untold stories are lost to time? A new installation of printed histories and photographs of people connected to the chateau tell unique and wonderful stories of the importance of the chateau and the joy that it brings.

Lovely old chateau with magnificent gardens in centre of village. Chateau only open on Sunday is €10 each, garden open 12.00-6.00pm, €5 each & we worth it. The moated chateau is surrounded by an amazingly well restored formal garden with natural flower beds & shrubs. The history is interesting & it is a haven of peace.

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.
