Ancient Theatre of Larissa

A highly notable and large theatre on Greek ground, the First Ancient Theatre of Larissa was built on the slope of Frourio hill (or 'Fortress' hill), at the fortified citadel of the ancient city. Apparently, it was fitted into the city web of ancient Larissa, as its parodoi (passageways, public entrances) were linked to the city's large processional ways. According to inscription testimonies, the construction dates to the early third century BC. During the first centuries, the theatre served a dual purpose: apart from theatrical performances, it also hosted the assemblies of the senior regional authority, the so called “Koinon” of the Thessalians. At the end of the first century BC it was transformed into a roman arena and thus stayed in use until the late third century AD, whereas theatrical performances and other events took place in the town's in ornate Second Ancient Theatre.
