The Grand Theatre of Aspendos

The Grand Theatre of Aspendos

Another recommendation by Yuksel, the impressively intact Roman theatre of Aspendos, built in AD 162 boasts of 40 stone seats holding up to 15,000 people, which is useful because concerts and festivals held here are highlighted yearly features of the Antalya region.
Quite unlike other old theatres in Turkey that are of the Hellenistic, fully emerged into the hillside style, the exterior is partly freestanding and the bonus is that the gallery and stage section is mostly intact. The massive Roman aqueduct built in AD 100, is another prominent and highly treasured feature of the ancient city.
