Pergamon Hellenistic Theater in Turkey, with steep stone seating carved into the hillside and a tower overlooking the landscape.

Hellenistic Theater

Address: Pergamon Acropolis, Bergama, 35700, İzmir, Turkey.

The Hellenistic Theater of Pergamon is an architectural marvel, carved into the steep slopes of the Acropolis in the 3rd century BCE. With a seating capacity of about 10,000, it offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding landscape and the ancient city below. Its steep, semi-circular design is typical of Hellenistic theaters, reflecting the period’s architectural ingenuity. Though partly in ruins today, the theater’s layout and remarkable acoustics provide a vivid impression of ancient performances and cultural gatherings.
