The Aspendos Amphitheater is the best preserved Roman theater in the world.

The theater is undoubtedly one of the finest Roman buildings, because so well preserved. It has witnessed several conversion phases before it fell due to the economic decline of the city to decay. In the 13th century, the Seljuk Turks discovered it and secured it for their needs. It is thanks to them that the theater presents itself in this state of preservation.

"On the outside of the stage there is an inscription written in ancient Greek and Latin. It names the imperial period of Marcus Aurelius (161–180) as the time of construction, Zenon as the architect and the Curtius brothers as the founder of the theater. [2] The cavea comprises 41 Rows of seats [3], which are divided by an intermediate aisle (diazoma), and can accommodate up to 20,000 [2] spectators. Since the Seljuks used the theater in the Middle Ages as a caravanserai, it was constantly repaired and restored after earthquakes. This explains the good State of preservation compared to the buildings in the area. "
