The Councillor Great Hall of the Lycian League was built in the early 1st century BC. Several changes were made to the original structure over time.
The cave or seating area was enlarged during the Roman Emperor Claudius or Emperor Nero’s reign.
Later, after the big earthquake, a colonnade was added, and a stage building inside. Later, the building was also used as a concert hall. Bouleuterion can accommodate up to 1.400 people in 21 rows. Governors have a dedicated seating area in the centre, called the courtroom. The restored building is one of Patara’s highlights!
