MYRA ANCIENT THEATER

 

The ancient theater, located within the Myra Ancient City, 5 km away from Antalya's Demre district was built in the 2nd century.

 

The seats of the theater, which is the only structure that has been completely unearthed under alluvium at a height of 4-10 meters in the ancient city, has been preserved to a great extent and the stage building has largely collapsed.

 

The theater, where gladiator fights were held in the orchestra area during the Roman period, has a capacity of approximately 11.000 people.

 

The theater, whose restoration started in 2013, was completed and opened to visitors in 2014
