Theater In Ohrid

The ancient theater at Ohrid was built in 200 B.C. and is the only Hellenistic theater in North Macedonia; another three theaters in Scupi, Stobi and Heraklea date from the Roman period. It is unclear how many people the original theater could seat, since only the lower section is still preserved. The open theater has an ideal location, surrounded by two hills to shelter it from winds that could interfere with acoustics during performances.
