Theater

Greece / Attiki / Markypoulon /
 theatre, archaeological site
This small theater is minor in size, only held about 300 spectators, but is an important finding for the understanding of Greek theater design, due to the relatively well-preserved state of the proscenium.
At the end of the series of pedestals, we arrive at the theater of the sanctuary. Little reminder that in ancient times the theater was connected with the exercise of worship. The colonnade of the "foreground" of space in front of the building of the stage, has been restored. Survive even five marble throne with relief decoration of the first century BC While the "valleys", the place where the spectators sat in a bad situation. From the theater, enjoy beautiful panoramic view of the whole of the site.
