Roman Theatre at Bosra, Roman theatre in Bosra, Syria
The Roman Theatre features a semicircular design with three levels of seating that can accommodate 3,500 people within its stone structure.
Built during the second century AD under Emperor Trajan, this theatre served as a central gathering place for the residents of ancient Bosra.
The theatre incorporated Greek architectural principles into its design, merging performance spaces with traditional Roman entertainment requirements.
Visitors can access all sections of the theatre, including the stage area, upper tiers, and underground passages through guided walking tours.
The structure includes defensive fortifications added during medieval times, transforming the entertainment venue into a military citadel.
