About this spot
The city of Ohrid is built on top of the ancient city of Lychnidos. Because of this much of Lychnidos cannot be excavated and the Amphitheatre is one of the few monuments still visible today from the Lychnidos period. This theatre is thought to be the only one in Macedonia still remaining from the Hellenistic period.
The theatre covers four thousand square metres and is strategically located on a hillside and is protected from the wind.
The theatre was built in the 3rd Century B.C. In the 2nd Century B.C. the Romans arrived and added seating. Distinguished members of the audience have their names engraved on their seats in the auditorium.
