Pergamon Theatre

The Pergamon Theatre, located in Bergama, İzmir, is a striking example of Hellenistic architecture and urban planning. Built into a steep hillside of the ancient Acropolis, the theatre dates back to the 3rd century BCE under the Attalid dynasty. It featured 78 rows of seats, accommodating up to 10,000 spectators. Its dramatic incline provided excellent acoustics and panoramic views, while the nearby Temple of Dionysus highlighted its cultural significance. Later Roman additions included a marble stage, blending Greek and Roman artistic legacies.
