In the 15th century, the ship's hull-like wing in the north and the arched gate building were added. Painting in the living room of the tower 1440. Later owners the Lords of Weineck and then the Counts Künigl von Ehrenburg and Warth.

A Castle under everyone's eyes that few observe and that deserves to be observed! The castle also presents itself as a hotel residence and information can be found on the website. Almost hidden by vegetation it allows for a very appreciable view of the city of Bolzano. Nearby there is a bunker which, seen from above, is in line with a cross and the bell tower of the church of San Paolo.... a beautiful vision and a profound contrast of meanings!!!!

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.
