Ancient Defenses || Antiguas Defensas (Larisa Castle, Argos; Peloponnese. Greece)
&quot;Defense involves three things: courage, energy, intelligence.&quot; Don Mayer.

On the top of Argos, the oldest continuously inhabited city in Europe, we can still find the ruins of Larisa Castle. This building located over the ancient Greek acropolis, was built mainly in Byzantine and later Venetian times.
From its imposing towers and walls there are magnificent views of the surrounding area, including present-day Argos, as well as Nafplio and the Mediterranean Sea in the distance. From up there one cannot help but think with amazement that despite the continuous wars and the varied invaders that passed through Argos, its people have been able for thousands of years to defend their homes and keep their city always standing.

&quot;La defensa implica tres cosas: coraje, energía, inteligencia.&quot; Don Mayer.

En la cima de Argos, la ciudad continuamente habitada más antigua de Europa, podemos aún encontrar las ruinas del Castillo Larisa. Este edificio situado sobre la antigua acrópolis griega, fue levantado principalmente en épocas bizantina y posteriormente veneciana. 
Desde sus imponentes torres y muros se tienen magníficas vistas de los alrededores, incluida la Argos actual, además de Nafplio y el Mar Mediterráneo a lo lejos. Desde allí arriba uno no puede evitar pensar con asombro, que a pesar de las continuas guerras y de los invasores tan variados que pasaron por Argos, sus gentes han sido capaces durante miles de años de defender sus hogares y de mantener su ciudad siempre en pie.
