Inside the famous Theatre of Herodes Atticus

Athens - Greece

I feel history...
But I also found out that this small theatre was built by....Romans!
It seats 5,000 spectators and is still in use today.
It was built by the Roman consul Herodes Atticus between AD 161 and 174, in memory of his wife, the shape was hollowed out of the rocks on the southern slope of the Acropolis.
