Theatre of Thorikos

The Theatre of Thorikos lies on the southern slope of Velatouri hill, about 3 km north-east of the centre of Lavrio, in the ancient mining deme of Thorikos. First built around 525–480 BC, before the semicircular plan became standard, it has an elongated auditorium of limestone benches around an oval orchestra and held 2,000 to 3,200 people after its 4th-century BC extension.
