The main sights of Zavattarello is the castle, also known as Castello Del Verme, which overlooks the town. It was built in the 10th century and was owned by Dal Verme family from 1390 until 1975.
Outside it is majestic and surrounded by a wide park. The view from its terraces is breathtaking, from which you can see the Alpine Garden of Pietra Corva, that has very peculiar plants.
Now in the castle there is also a museum of modern art.
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.
