Theatre of Chersonesus

The ancient theatre structure features stone seating arrangements carved into the hillside, following traditional Greek architectural principles of the Hellenistic period.

Founded in the 6th century BC by settlers from Heraclea Pontica, the theatre served as a central gathering place for civic assemblies and dramatic performances.

The theatre demonstrates the influence of Greek performing arts in the Black Sea region through its layout designed for both theatrical productions and public meetings.

Located at coordinates 44.6102 latitude and 33.4922 longitude, visitors can access the theatre site within the archaeological park of ancient Chersonesus.

The theatre's preservation allows researchers to study the transition of architectural styles from Greek to Roman influences in the northern Black Sea region.
