Teatr Dionizosa

Theater of Dionysus is the cradle of dramatic art, located on the southern slope of the Acropolis in Athens. It was built in the 6th century BC, originally as a wooden structure, later rebuilt in stone around 330 BC by Lycurgus.

It was here that the most famous Greek tragedians - Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides and comedian Aristophanes - presented their works. The theater was famous for its revolutionary acoustics, allowing it to be heard perfectly from anywhere.

The annual Dionysia festivals featured tragedies, comedies and choral performances.
