Laodikeia ad Lycum West Theatre 4780.jpg

view map

The Western Theatre, located here to take advantage of the afternoon breezes from the west. Built entirely in earth following the Hellenistic tradition. The stage building stood to a height of 6-7 meters. In use until the 7th century AD and then used as a quarry. It could seat up to 8.000 people.

In an article I read excavations have been extensive, the theatre is to be opened not long after 2020.
