Bebris Castle

Mtskheta, Georgia

Bebris Tsikhe (The Elder's Fortress) is located further up the main road from Samtavro. The ruins are fun, if a bit dangerous, to climb on for views overlooking Mtskheta and the valley formed around the Mtkvari and Aragvi rivers.

My friends and I found this fort from the internet and decided to check it out. Overall, it's not bad and the view from it was amazing! The fort itself is not really well maintained, but we still enjoyed it. This fort is around Mtskheta area.

The fortress has stunning views on Mtsketa, but it needs to be renovated. Not well cared.

The fortress is filled with animal/human p*** and very dirty. I didn't make it past the entrance as there was a danger I might step into something. Avoid.

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.
