Already known place, it remains a nice stop to eat excellent Tyrolean specialties and drink excellent beer.

Dario Luciani (4 years ago)
Mmmmmm nothing special, a country with the FORST company that is the host. Well immersed in the context though. Too bad that at the brewery shop, the bottles cost more than at the supermarket. Patience, I drink them anyway

Giuseppe Calamosca (5 years ago)
Wonderful both in summer and in winter. Good beer good food fast and friendly service. Adjusted price. Great

Carlo Spagnolo (6 years ago)
Quality that has gradually reduced over time and is not worth the price. Beer is good. They feed you quickly and hurry you to leave the place. Never again

It has a very ancient history (it seems to date back to twelve hundred...) and it is famous for having hosted the famous minstrel poet Oswald von Wolkenstein, one of the best known medieval Tyrolean characters, in his prisons for months. Today it is owned by the Forst brewery and is used for events. It is not normally open to visitors.

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.
