Ephesus Ancient Greek Theatre

The Great Theater of Ephesus in the Ancient City of Ephesus
Located at the end of the Arcadia Street in the ancient city of Ephesus, it is one of the landmark buildings of the ancient city of Ephesus
The Great Theater was built in the 3rd century BC in the ancient Greek era and was expanded during the Roman Empire. It was once used as a place for performing dramas and gladiatorial combats. It was also the main venue for Ephesus's festivals, gatherings and large-scale performances
The entire theater is built along the hillside with a semi-circular shape, with the performance stage as the center. It perfectly combines the architectural styles of the ancient Greek and ancient Roman theaters
The Great Theater has 66 rows of seats, a diameter of an astonishing 154 meters, a height of 38 meters, and can accommodate up to 25,000 people. It is even larger than the amphitheater in the Acropolis of Athens. To be honest, even today, it is still a large-scale theater. It can be seen how magnificent it was in that era
In addition to its grand scale, the theater's audio-visual design is also amazing. Starting from the stage, each row of seats is more inclined and steeper than the previous row. The echo is used so that the audience on the upper periphery can also clearly hear the performance in the center of the stage It's amazing
