We are just casual passers-by in this beautiful village. We are impressed by this beautiful building into which your ancestors put a lot of energy and creative work, so that the tower is still standing after hundreds of years. The building is cracked from top to bottom in 2 places. So it will cost a lot of money and labor to repair this. But this legacy is so unique that it has to be done. With a little imagination one can imagine the scenes that have taken place here over the centuries. What a beautiful monument in a beautiful country that is Spain.

El castillo de Mazuelo es una de las fortalezas mejor conservadas de toda la provincia. Presenta una torre del homenaje de planta cuadrada que aparece rodeada por una cerca en la que destaca una barbacana con dos cubos. De finales del siglo XIV o comienzos del XV. Perteneció, entre otras familias, a los Carrillo, Rojas y Cerezo.

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.
