The Patara Theatre, probably built in the 3rd century BC, with an independent theatre building of later age. The latter was financed, according to an inscription, by a Greek woman, called Vilia Procula. Or more precisely, it states that she financed the front wall of the stage (proskenion) and the Logeion (stage), whereas the theatre building (probably built end of the 1st, beginning of 2nd century AD) was paid for by her father Quintius Villius Titanus. The theatre could hold 5500-6000 people on 34 rows. The theatre building is 41,5 wide x 6,5 m deep. At the very top of the seats there is, as in other theatres, a temple. It had one room, 4 columns stood in front. It is not clear to whom it was dedicated.
