What travelers say:

Built in 161 AD in memory of his wife by the Greek philosopher of the Roman Empire, on the south side of the Acropolis, the Acropolis was the oldest theater in the world and the most outstanding building of the same period, and until now this ancient theater is in perfect repair. Today, it is still in use. The main venue for the annual Athens Festival is here. It is also an eye-opening theater for audiences who come to see the performance. The theater is a three-story building. 32 rows of seats can accommodate up to 6,000 spectators. It is a typical semi-amphitheater. Any point can clearly see the performance on the stage, the background of the stage is the Roman window-shaped wall, the alcove is decorated with statues, the design is very exquisite, especially at night, it looks particularly artistic, there is a sense of history.
