A nice quiet place. First time there in was impressed. I wasn't in the castle itself. But you can walk there very well.

The weather was cold and sunny, but the property made a slightly gloomy impression. Unfortunately, the gardens and buildings are not accessible, but this is because the Count lives there. So understandable. The time of year (winter) naturally contributes to the lack of atmosphere. It will be made up for in spring or summer.

Had imagined more for a photo series. Maybe a nice motif in winter. Unfortunately, you can't get into the back garden because it's private now. Small rounds to go for a walk.

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.
