The Kourion Amphitheater was built in the II century BC and at first was relatively small. The earthquake of 77 AD destroyed the theater, but soon it was again restored in a classic style of those times. Its capacity has been increased up to 3500 spectators and it was also equipped with a removable canopy. In addition to tragedies and comedies, it was possible to see atellan farce, mime, pantomime, pyrrhics, as well as gladiator fights. In 365 AD, a very powerful earthquake destroyed the theater, and it was never restored again. Its blocks were used for the construction of other buildings. The theater was discovered during excavations in 1949-1950. It was restored in 1961, and is now performances are staged there once again. Try to get to the centre of the stage, marked by a slight indentation and say something, clap your hands or stomp your feet. Aren’t the acoustics wonderful?
