Turkey, Roman theatre of Laodicea

2,200 years later, the historic Roman theatre in Laodicea will open again

2,200 years after its construction, the historic Roman theatre of Laodicea, a candidate to be recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, will once again be reopened to the public and host cultural events once the restoration works, which are scheduled to end in March 2021. With a capacity of 15,000 people, the Laodicea Theatre (from which you can see the Pamukkale terraces) was abandoned in the 4th century with the arrival of Christianity, and later destroyed by several earthquakes.
