The Italian School of Archaeology at Athens excavated ancient ruins during the early 20th century. This excavation unearthed the Acropolis of Rhodes and found several treasures, including the Odeon.

The Acropolis site dates back to the Classical Greek and Hellenistic periods, from the third to second centuries BC. In 408 BC, three of the island's cities joined forces to build one main city, Rhodes. The Acropolis was built on the city's highest point, and the monuments were built on terraces.

The Acropolis looks over the medieval town and the modern new town.

The small white marble Odeon could hold about 800 spectators. Historians believe the Odeon was used for musical performances and lectures. Ancient Greeks might have attended singing events, musical shows, or poetry recitals here.

The restored theater contains 800 marble seats. The Odeon has been beautifully and painstakingly restored and is a wonderful tribute to ancient Greek architecture.
