about Theatre of Herodes Atticus
The Theatre of Herodes Atticus, also known as the Odeon, is a Roman amphitheatre built in 161AD. It is named after an affluent Roman, Herodes Atticus, who constructed it in commemoration of his wife, Regilia.
Able to seat up to 5,000 people, the Theatre of Herodes Atticus was mostly used for music shows and festivals, a function which the now restored structure still performs today.
