Ancient Theatre of Ohrid
Античкиот театар
An ancient Greek-style theatre dating from around 200 BC, the only surviving Hellenistic theatre in North Macedonia, still used as a performance venue in summer
The theatre sits between two hills in the Old Town. It was used for gladiatorial shows in the Roman period, was buried under earth for a long time, and was only excavated in the 1980s. Entry is free, and from the theatre seats you can look out over the lake. The Ohrid Summer Festival is held here in July and August, with plays and concerts, and tickets must be bought in advance. It is located near the Upper Gate and the Church of Our Lady.
