Seen from the outside it still retains all its charm, even if the structure is not complete. Inside he has completely lost his identity

Our castle contains within it the wonderful Gonzaga theater built in the second half of the nineteenth century and the ancient governor's palace, home of the ancient synagogue... come and visit us

The fortification of the area dates back to the early Middle Ages, while the presence of a castle is documented by written sources since the 14th century, even if its foundation is probably much older. Scenario of sieges and military operations in almost all the wars that involved this corner of Lombardy between the 15th and 18th centuries, the original quadrilateral fortifications were partially demolished after the unification of Italy, leaving the structure intact which still stands today. can observe.

A surprise, you have to have a bit of imagination to recreate it as it was, but Simone, the guide, was GREAT at taking us back in time. The adjacent theater is an enchanting wedding favor

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.
