The Roman theater in Selge stands in the middle of Altinkaya and is certainly the main attraction. You can climb around the theater and then get up to the top row of seats. From up there you can enjoy a very nice panoramic view of the ancient Selge. Good for planning the further tour through Selge, because in Selge everything that is not committed by the Altinkayers has grown over!

One of most important structure and the only one still standing today is the theatre reconstructed towards the mid-2nd c. AD. It was an amazingly stable construction, given that its diameter was 104 m, while its position between two hills is particularly advantageous.

Approximately 10,000 spectators could attend the performances. The auditorium (cavea) was built according to the Greek standards.
