Greece - city of Argos and the Castle of Larisa in Argos, Greece. Let's travel to Greece and let's visit the city of Argos in the Peloponnese area of Greece. We are going to tour Larisa Castle (or, Larissa Castle, Castle of Argos) which is the ancient and medieval acropolis of Argos, located on a high rocky hill, within the town's boundaries.
Looming over Argos, Larissa Castle is a crumbling conglomeration of purple-flower-studded towers, bastions and wall sections - contributed by Roman, Frankish, Venetian and Ottoman Turk conquerors - that stands on the foundations of the city’s principal ancient citadel. Sections of original Mycenaean walls are visible. The all-encompassing views from the top are well worth the ascent.
The Castle of Larissa in Argos which towers over the city is a Medieval site that the visitor should explore. The hill over the city was first fortified during the 6th Century BC, and was named after the daughter of the mythical hero Pelasgos. Some ancient Cyclopean wall sections of the fortifications are still visible, dating from the Mycenaean period, which were incorporated into the 10th Century double-ring of stone walls. With each new conqueror, additional wall sections, towers and bastions were added to the castle defences.
