    Tips

    One of Butrint's best-preserved structures is the semi-circular theatre. It lies just below the Acropolis and faces the Vivari Canal. Right next to it is the Temple of Asklepios. The theater was built in the 3rd century BC. Built in Greek style, possibly on the walls of an older and smaller theatre. The auditorium (lat. Cavea) was considerably expanded. The seats were divided hierarchically; the lowest seats, and thus those closest to the stage, belonged to the higher classes of the city. This is best illustrated by the many footrests in this series, which are decorated with lion motifs. The auditorium is divided into five sectors (gr. kerkides), each of which has 13 rows of seats.
