This ancient Roman amphitheater is truly a site to behold! The architecture is incredibly well preserved. Impressive acoustics as well. Voices on the main floor amplify all the way to the top of the stairs, seemingly by magic.

It was a strange and delightful experience. With every photo I took and every frame I saw, I became more excited. You could see that same sense of joy and excitement in the eyes of people from many different nationalities there.

Aspendos amphitheatre was a feast for the eyes! The ancient Roman ruin in Antalya, Turkey, built in the 2nd century AD, is renowned for its stunning acoustics and incredible preservation - the original stage backdrop still stands tall 🏛️. With seating for 15,000+, it's a must-see for history and architecture buffs. Defo worth a visit.

Ancient Aspendos......is located to the east of Antalya and is famous for its best-preserved ancient amphitheater built in the 2nd century AD during the reign of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius. The theater has a capacity of 15,000 people and is still used today for performances and festivals. Its galleries, stage decorations and acoustics all testify to its architect Xeno's success. Next to the stage there is a small room which is used as a small museum where you can see some of the masks and clay

One, if not THE, best preserved ancient roman theatre in the world. Funny enough, it was thanks to the Ottoman using part as a caravansarail. The acoustics are incredible. The level of details of the marble carving just let you wonder how magnificent it must have been when just completed and fully made of shiny marble.
