Odeon of Herodes Atticus

The Odeon of Herodes Atticus is a stone theater structure and was built in 161 BC by Herodes Atticus in memory of his wife, Aspasia Annia Regilla. It was originally a steep-sloped amphitheater wide with a three-storey stone front wall and a wooden roof. It was used as a venue for music concerts and had a capacity of 5,000. At present time, the Athens Festival holds performances there during the summer months.
