Theatre at the Ancient City of Epidaurus

The theater features a circular orchestra measuring 20 meters in diameter and a well-preserved limestone seating area divided into two sections with 55 rows.

Built in the 4th century BCE by architect Polykleitos the Younger, the theater served as a crucial component of the Sanctuary of Asklepios healing center.

The Epidaurus Festival, established in 1955, continues to present ancient Greek dramas and theatrical performances during summer months in this historical venue.

Located two hours from Athens by car, the theater maintains perfect acoustics that allow 14,000 spectators to hear performers clearly from any seat.

The theater incorporates mathematical principles in its design, with limestone seats acting as acoustic filters that suppress low-frequency background sounds.
