This ancient theater was built in the Roman times, in about 161 A.D. by the Roman philosopher, teacher and politician Herodes Atticus. It was built in the memory of his wife Aspasia Regilla who died in 160 AD. <br /> <br /> This semi-circular amphitheater has a wide 1,250 feet radiuswith a seating capacity of more than 6,000 people. The original wall of the stage stood three storeys high and was decorated with marbles and ceramic pieces while today it stands in ruins. The stage and seating area was laid with marble while it has been renovated today. A cedar-wooden roof covered the theatre in the ancient times. <br /> <br /> In the 1950s, a renovation took place helping us to visit and get a taste of this architectural treasure. Today you can attend the Athens Art Festival, musical concerts and classical tragedies under the night sky with a marvelous acoustic experience. All events are held from May to early October since the theatre is open. The Herodion Theater stands on Dionysiou Areopagitou Pedestrian Street, right under the Acropolis.<br /> <br /> <br /> Thank you all for your comments &amp; faves.</p> Wed, 05 May 2010 02:12:44 -0700 2008-11-27T12:55:13-08:00 nobody@flickr.com (Manos Eleftheroglou (Photography)) tag:flickr.com,2004:/photo/4580376139 Herodion Theater. <p>The Odeon of Herodes Atticus in Athens:<br /> Built at the base of the Acropolis, the ancient amphitheatre of Herodeion, also known as the Odeon of Herodus Atticus, is today one of the best places to experience a live classical theatre performance.
