Thoricus, Archaeological site in Lavreotiki, Greece
The Theater of Thoricos stands on the southern slope of Velatouri hill, featuring an elongated design instead of the traditional semicircular shape of Greek theaters.
The settlement developed from 4500 BC to 1st century BC near the silver mines of Lavrion, which contributed to the economic power of ancient Athens.
The archaeological complex includes a temple dedicated to Demeter and Kore, industrial quarters for metal processing, and multiple burial grounds from different periods.
The archaeological site contains six defensive towers, seven gateways, four stairways, and over 600 meters of preserved ancient walls to explore.
The theater, dating from 525-480 BC, holds the distinction of being the earliest known theater structure in the world, with a capacity for 3,200 spectators.
