The Theater of Dionysus

Believed to be the most ancient theater in the world, and located in the shadow of Acropolis; The Theater of Dionysus staged Athenian drama during the celebration of the Great Dionyssia. Built by descendants of the tyrant Peisistratos, a lot has changed in the structure making it difficult to trace its evolution. The theater is no doubt from the classical greek period. Restoration work is under way to bring back its lost glory.
