Aspendus - Turkey
Aspendus - Turkey
Ranked by most as the best-preserved Roman theatre anywhere, Aspendos sees a good share of tourists. Located right in the middle between Antalya and Side, it is the main attraction for many day trippers.
The theatre was built by the command of Emperor Marcus Aurelius in the late 2nd century CE. It went through two major restorations, first in the 13th century and a second time in the 20th century, by the command of Atatürk. The latter restoration caused many protests, since there were other ideas about what its original appearance must have been.
