Ancient Theatre of Ohrid

[1] It was built in 200 BC and is the only Hellenistic-type theatre in the country as the other three in Scupi, Stobi and Heraklea Lynkestis are from Roman times.

The open theater has a perfect location: the two hills that surround it keep it protected from winds that could interfere with acoustics during performances.

It was built at the end of 3rd or the beginning of 2nd century BC, during the late Hellenistic period.

In fact, as a result of this dislike, the theater was abandoned and buried by the locals after the demise of the Roman Empire.

Namely, during construction work around some of the houses in the area, large stone blocks with carvings of the Greek god Dyonisius and the muses were showing up, which led archaeologists to believe that a Greek theater (Dionysus and the muses were related to the performance arts) must have been located nearby.
