An ascent towards the ruins of the castle which provides a panoramic view of the picturesque village of Canac. For photo enthusiasts, the site offers a beautiful view of the hamlet: a real postcard!

An enchanting place at the bend of the Plo de Canac hiking trail. The castle offers (literally) a window onto the valley and rewards us for the steep climb that leads there. I recommend it to walkers who like to mix hiking and heritage!

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.
