Beautiful castle, overlooking the valley and mountains, some great photo-ops, and free of charge.

We’re really happy we made this stop. What a great panoramic view there is to behold here, on a bright day. I didn’t learn too much about the castle itself, but it is definitely worth a stop, for the view alone!

Beautiful place with the nice views on Sondrio. It can be reached from Castello Masegra.

Great place for a walk with a beautiful view all around the top. Come here on a clear day! The actual castle area is locked so make sure to double check opening hours before your visit. If you come when it’s closed, you can see enjoy nice views from the church down the street. There are plenty of free parking spots nearby.

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.
