Greek amphitheater

A Greek amphitheater is an open-air, circular or oval structure used for performances like theater, music, and gatherings. Built into natural hillsides or constructed with stone, its design maximizes acoustics and sightlines, allowing large audiences to see and hear performers clearly. These structures often feature tiered seating arranged in a semi-circle or circle, fostering an immersive experience. Amphitheaters played a central role in ancient Greek culture, facilitating communal entertainment, civic discourse, and religious events. Their architectural principles influenced later theaters and continue to inspire modern performance spaces.
