12 reviews of Theatre of Dionysus

The oldest theater in the world

At the bottom of the Acropolis this is the first thing you see upon entering. It's well preserved and I can not believe that theater was born here. It was built in the fourth century BC, had capacity for 17,000 people and was used as the headquarters of the People's Assembly. After the Roman invasion there were many reforms and the barbarian invasions caused it to be abandoned. It wasn't restored until the nineteenth century.
