Larissa Fortress, also called Castle Larisa, is the ancient and medieval acropolis of Argos in Greece, set on a high rocky hill within the town's western boundaries in the Argos-Mykines Municipality. Its summit holds the ruins of a Byzantine-Venetian castle, while the Panagia Katakekrymeni-Portokalousa monastery lies roughly midway down the slope and the Monastery of Agia Marina, a nunnery, stands opposite the castle entrance. The site was fortified and in continuous use for nineteen centuries.
