Argos, Archaeological site in Argos, Greece
The archaeological complex spreads between the Aspis and Larissa hills, featuring an ancient theater, agora, sanctuaries, and Roman structures across the landscape.
The settlement dates back 7,000 years, evolving from a Mycenaean stronghold into a prominent city-state that introduced standardized weights and measures in the 7th century BC.
The ancient theater, constructed in the 3rd century BC, accommodated 20,000 spectators and continues to host performances during summer months.
The archaeological sites maintain regular operating hours from 8:00 to 15:00, with designated parking areas and clear pathways for visitors to explore the ruins.
The excavation work in Argos began in 1892 and continues under the French School's direction, revealing layers of civilization from Neolithic to Byzantine periods.
