First Ancient Theatre, Larissa, Greek theatre in Larissa, Greece
The First Ancient Theatre of Larissa contains remnants of stone seats, stage structures, and architectural elements on the slopes of Frourio Hill.
Built during the late 3rd century BCE under King Antigonus II Gonatas, this theatre operated continuously until earthquakes caused significant damage in the 4th century CE.
The theatre served both as a performance venue for theatrical productions and as a meeting place for city assemblies in ancient Larissa.
Modern visitors can access the archaeological site in central Larissa to examine the restored marble seats and architectural features from the Hellenistic period.
Archaeological excavations, which began in 1910, revealed that medieval structures had been constructed directly upon the ancient theatre's remains.
