Roman theatre of about 5,000 seats on the south slope of the Acropolis, completed in AD 161 as a gift from Herodes Atticus. It has been the main summer stage of the Athens Epidaurus Festival, but after a final programme in June 2026 it closed to the public for restoration works expected to last around three years.
