Troy Odeion 7841.jpg

view map

The Odeion was amongst other things intended for the presentation of musical performances. Visible behind it are the Troia VI fortification walls and a pillar which belongs to the “Pillar House” of the Troia VI period. In our back are the remains of a Roman bath. The Odeion, baths and a nearby Bouleuterion lie at the edge of the agora, market-place, where the public life of the city was focused. The Odeion has a semi-circular orchestra, with a skene (stage-building), in which stood an oversized cuirassed statue of the Emperor Hadrian (117-138 AD, see mu Çanakkale museum gallery). The orchestra is bordered by a wall of limestone slabs above which rise tiers of seats constructed of large limestone blocks and divided by aisles into wedge shaped sections.
