In the game

The walled capital of the Argolis, with a fortified main gate and banners of the Argive wolf.

The real place

Argos is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Europe. Its huge ancient theatre, in the photo, was built in the 4th century BCE, and the Larissa castle stands on the hill above.

Visiting

The theatre is on the edge of the modern town; climb to the Larissa castle for views over the plain to Nafplio.
