Ancient Theatre of Delos

On the sacred island of Delos, within the Municipality of Mykonos, the Ancient Theatre traces an arc of history from the Archaic period through the Classical, Hellenistic, and Roman Early Empire eras into late antiquity. Its stones stand among the landmarks of a bustling cosmopolitan sanctuary, near the House of the Masks and the Agora of the Italians, where merchants and pilgrims once gathered. Across so many centuries the theatre witnessed the island's architectural evolution, a quiet survivor of the rituals and assemblies that shaped one of the Aegean's most storied places.
