Hellenistic theatre of Dion, Ancient Greek theatre in Dion, Greece
The theatre features an orchestra measuring 26 meters in diameter, with stone drainage systems and semicircular rows of seating built into a natural hill slope.
Construction of the theatre dates to the 3rd century BCE, with modifications during the reign of Philip V from 221 to 179 BCE.
The theatre hosted performances during a nine-day festival dedicated to the Nine Pierian Muses, marking its importance in ancient Macedonian religious ceremonies.
Located 180 meters south of the archaeological park entrance, the theatre serves as a venue for modern performances during the summer Olympus Festival.
The auditorium contains seats made of mud bricks arranged in a distinctive pattern, with original marble coverings from the pre-Roman period.
