Delphi Theater, Ancient Greek theater in Delphi, Greece
The limestone theater structure stands on Mount Parnassus slopes with 35 rows of seats accommodating 5000 spectators overlooking the valley below.
Built in the 4th century BC, the theater underwent modifications during Roman times and served as a central venue for the Pythian Games.
The theater hosted competitions of poetry, music, and dramatic performances where artists gathered to honor Apollo through their artistic expressions.
Tickets for the archaeological site include access to both the theater and the Museum of Delphi, with guided tours available in multiple languages.
The theater's stone seating arrangement creates natural acoustics that allow voices from the circular orchestra to reach all sections without amplification.
