Ancient Greek Theatre

This theatre held over 10,000 people and it’s been standing here for nearly two thousand bloody years. Welcome to the ancient Roman Theatre of Myra, carved into the base of a mountain in southern Turkey. Originally built during the Greek period and later expanded by the Romans in the 2nd century AD, this beast was the social heart of the city hosting everything from comedies to blood-soaked gladiator games. Still echoing with history, still watching the sun rise over the Lycian coast. | Mansions
