Antique Theatre

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Antique Theatre is an ancient Hellenistic theatre located in Ohrid, Republic of Macedonia. It was built in the year 200 B.C. and is also the only Hellenistic theatre in the country, the other three are from Roman times. It is unclear how many people it used to seat, as only the lower section of the theatre is preserved. The open theater has a perfect location, as as the two hills that surround it keep it protected from winds that could interfere with acoustics during performances. The Anitque Theatre was actually discovered by accident. It offers a wonderful view of Ohrid Lake and Mt. Galičica. Today, the Antique Theatre hosts a lot of different events and functions.
