Leignon Castle is a nineteenth century castle located in Wallonia, a few kilometers south of Ciney. It is a private castle with restricted access to the public.
An old building existed prior to the construction of the castle. Located on a former field by Stavelot abbey, its origins may date back to the nineteenth century. Around 1890, Belgian diplomat and early photographer Isidore Jacques Eggermont acquired the castle with over 400 hectares of land, including farm land and woods. He then built a castle around the old building; hiring Belgian architect Auguste Van Assche for its design, after which the castle took its present form.
References: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.
