Roman theatre of Cordoba, Roman theatre in Córdoba, Spain.
The theatre extends over a vast area with a diameter of 125 meters, featuring a semicircular cavea and architectural elements typical of Roman design.
Built during the reign of Emperor Augustus before 5 BC, the theatre remained active until the third century when an earthquake caused substantial structural damage.
This entertainment venue accommodated 15,000 spectators, making it the second-largest theatre in the Roman Empire after the Theatre of Marcellus in Rome.
The remains of the theatre lie beneath the Archaeological and Ethnological Museum of Córdoba, with approximately 30 percent of its surface excavated since 1994.
Roman architects positioned the theatre on the highest point of Córdoba to utilize natural terrain slopes for optimal seating arrangement.
