This magnificent theater was \u2013 and still is \u2013 a showpiece in Aspendos Ancient City. Built by the architect Zenon while under Roman dominion, Aspendos Theater has a capacity of 15,000 people. As one of the best-preserved ancient theaters, the Aspendos Ancient Theater is the oldest and strongest example of Roman-era theaters. Its structure incorporates a semi-circular stone floor for smaller audiences, but even the softest sounds from the stage are audible from the highest rows. Aspendos, which is visited by thousands of tourists every year, is still used for concerts and other events.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The theater stage of Hierapolis Ancient City, in Denizli, is considered among the most beautiful existing structures remaining from the Roman era. The construction of the 1,800-year-old Hierapolis Ancient Theater, which has 50 seating rows, began in the second half of the 1st century and took about 150 years. One of the most monumental elements of the stage are its marble reliefs, depicting a series of mythological events and stories. Hierapolis Ancient Theater is also the first ancient theater in T\u00fcrkiye with a restored stage; the theater continues to host cultural and artistic events with a capacity of 12,000 people.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#ebebeb;color:#ebebeb\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pergamon: Standing upright!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pergamon-Ancient-Theater-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Pergamon Ancient Theater\" class=\"wp-image-22034\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pergamon-Ancient-Theater-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pergamon-Ancient-Theater-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pergamon-Ancient-Theater-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pergamon-Ancient-Theater-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pergamon-Ancient-Theater-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pergamon-Ancient-Theater-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pergamon-Ancient-Theater-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pergamon-Ancient-Theater-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pergamon-Ancient-Theater-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Pergamon-Ancient-Theater-630x420.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pergamon Ancient Theater is the world\u2019s steepest theater with an angle of about 70 degrees. But all those steps are worth climbing, because the 10,000-seat theater, built on the slope west of the Temple of Athena, has a magnificent view of Bergama. Another interesting fact: A collapsible wooden stage was used for certain performances. Unfortunately, this stage has not survived but, if you come to Izmir, ascend to the top of the Pergamon Theater and observe the stunning view.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#ebebeb;color:#ebebeb\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Milet: A visit to the New Stone Age<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Milet-Ancient-Theater-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Milet Ancient Theater\" class=\"wp-image-22036\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Milet-Ancient-Theater-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Milet-Ancient-Theater-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Milet-Ancient-Theater-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Milet-Ancient-Theater-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Milet-Ancient-Theater-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Milet-Ancient-Theater-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Milet-Ancient-Theater-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Milet-Ancient-Theater-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Milet-Ancient-Theater-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Milet-Ancient-Theater-630x420.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our next long-standing theater is in the Ancient City of Miletos in Ayd\u0131n\u2019s old port area, where the first settlement remains date from the New Stone Age. The Theater, which is 30 meters high is a typical example of Greco-Roman architecture; its capacity rose from 5,300 people during the Hellenistic period to 19,000 during the Roman era. Today, the remains of a castle used in Byzantine and Ottoman times are on the third floor of the theater. The parts of the stage that have survived to this day, and the galleries between floors, retain that theatrical atmosphere.
