Hieropolis Theater
The Hierapolis Theater
It was huge!
The Hieropolis theater was built against a hillside after an earthquake in 60 AD.
It had the capacity to seat 15,000 spectators with
45 rows of seats originally. 30 rows have been preserved.
It was made mostly out of marble and contains the best examples of
Roman theater decoration.
