Bodrum Amphitheater
The Bodrum Roman Amphitheatre is located on a hill overlooking the port of Bodrum and its famous castle. The Bodrum Amphitheater dates back to the 4th century. It is one of the preserved natural sites in the Roman city of Halicarnassus, making it one of the oldest and most magnificent stone-work theaters in the ancient world.
The amphitheater can accommodate about 10,000 people, and this area is considered an open-air museum.
The amphitheater is considered one of the most beautiful tourist attractions in Turkey. It tells the story of the ancient past of the city of Bodrum, and its construction dates back to the 4th century BC.
The amphitheater was a meeting place for kings and people during the reign of King Mausolus, ruler of Halicarnassus, and was developed to its current state in the 2nd century BC.
As in ancient Roman theaters, the amphitheater consists of three main parts: the stage, the orchestra area, and the stone audience seats.
The amphitheater can accommodate approximately 13,000 people. It became an open museum after excavations in 1973, and is currently used for festivals and musical performances.
The amphitheater has a panoramic view of Bodrum Port and the ancient castle overlooking the amphitheater, which makes taking pictures at this point a favorite for its visitors.
