Lycabettus Theatre, Open-air amphitheater on Mount Lycabettus, Greece
The Lycabettus Theatre extends across a former quarry site, featuring a steel structure design that accommodates 6000 spectators on the hillside location.
Greek actress Anna Synodinou initiated the theater's construction in 1964, leading to its official inauguration with a performance of Sophocles' Antigone in June 1965.
The venue has presented performances by international artists including Tina Turner and James Brown, along with Greek performers such as Mikis Theodorakis and Haris Alexiou.
Visitors can reach the theater using the funicular railway that operates from Aristippou Street in Kolonaki to the Mount Lycabettus summit area.
The theater reopened in 2023 after a 15-year closure, following extensive renovations that restored this protected monument to its original architectural specifications.
