Small theatre of Ambracia, Greek theatre in Arta, Greece.
The small theatre of Ambracia features a circular orchestra measuring 6.70 meters in diameter and stone seating arrangements divided by two radial staircases.
Built between the late fourth and early third century BC, this theatre emerged during the period when Ambracia served as the capital of Pyrrhus' kingdom.
Archaeological excavations revealed decorative pebble floors with intricate motifs depicting Eros figures, swans, and dolphins beneath the theatre's structure.
The theatre structure includes three preserved rows of seats on each side and four in the central section, accommodating approximately 500 spectators.
This structure stands as the smallest known preserved ancient Greek theatre, constructed upon the remains of a fourth-century BC bath complex.
