Ephesus Theatre

Teatro de Éfeso is an ancient Roman theater located in Selçuk, Turkey, near the ruins of the city of Ephesus. This magnificent structure is a testament to the engineering and architectural prowess of the ancient Romans, who built it in the 1st century AD. The theater is situated on the slope of a hill, with a seating capacity of approximately 24,000 spectators. Its design is characterized by a semicircular shape, with 34 rows of marble seats and a stage that was originally 15 meters wide. The theater's acoustics are remarkable, with the sound of a single voice able to be heard from the top row to the bottom. The structure has undergone several restorations and excavations over the centuries, with the most significant being in the 1970s. Today, the Teatro de Éfeso is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Turkey, offering visitors a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the ancient world.
