Erected around the 4th century BCE, this architectural marvel boasts 35 magnificent rows that once accommodated around 5,000 eager spectators, each treated to a stunning vista of the surrounding olive valley. As a vibrant centerpiece for theatrical performances, poetry readings, and musical festivities, this theater thrived as a cultural beacon. In the following Hellenistic and Roman eras, the theater flourished further with the addition of lower seating tiers, enhancing the experience for all who gathered to witness the arts in this enchanting setting.
