Its story
The theater was built into the slope north of Halicarnassus in the time of Mausolus and is counted among the oldest theaters in Anatolia. Enlarged in the Roman period, the structure lay buried for centuries. Excavations and repairs that began in the 1970s made it usable again; today it hosts concerts and performances in summer. From the upper rows of seats you can see the bay, the marina and Bodrum Castle in a single frame.
