The Rhodiapols theatre was (surprising, to my mind) only uncovered after a fire in 2000 cleared the hillside, and excavations were undertaken in 2010 (according to a Hürriyet article I found on the web) later. There is a small Greek-planned theatre in the city centre. The cavea of the south-facing theatre, which is thought to have a capacity of approximately 1500 people, is mostly leaning on the slope, and there are 6 sections between 7 stairs in the cavea. The diameter of the fully round orchestra is 10.52 meters. The upper part of the stage building, which extends on the east-west axis, was completely destroyed, only the ground floor was preserved. 5 doors open from the Proskene front. Behind the stage building stands the monument (some sources speak of mausoleum) for Opramoas. Both were being reconstructed in the way I see increasingly in Turkey: using new stone missing parts are filled in (and I wonder to what extent old parts have been cleaned), giving the whole a brand new aspect which will take years of weathering to look even faintly ancient. Or maybe another earthquake?
