Very beautiful, but it clearly needs restoration for its proper conservation. I have not seen it inside, you have to call in advance because of what the townspeople have told me

On the outside and comparing it with what there is in the surroundings it is very good, on the inside I can't speak, because it says that you can only visit on Wednesdays, as long as they answer you, because I wrote to them a couple of times and they didn't bother to reply ??‍♂️.

You can only visit on Wednesdays, curious to see if you go in passing, a little careless.

Surprise to find such a cool castle in such a small town. A pity that it is private and cannot be visited.

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.
