The ancient theatre in Plovdiv is
the most impressive building of Roman time that has come to us.

It took more than ten years to clear the Amphitheatre and remove the 15-metre thick layer of earth, which was covering the theatre. Òhe spectators' seats were amphitheatrically shaped and divided into two rings of 14 rows each.
Most probably the theatre had a capacity of 7000 spectators at the most. The names of the respective city quarters were chiselled on the benches in each sector. Simply everyone had to seat where he belonged.
 

The two-level stage exhibits the architectural and decorative wealth of the building; top –quality materials and the artistic working unambiguously show the tremendous social importance attached to the city theatre.
