Ancient Theatre of Ohrid - One visit
The ancient Theatre of Ohrid, built in 200 BC, is in Macedonia. It is the only Hellenistic-type theatre in Macedonia.
A beautiful 2000-year-old amphitheatre in the heart of old city Ohrid, located just below Samuel's Fortress, is free to enter.
The theatre was constructed between hills to protect it from winds and provide incredible acoustics. It is chosen as one of the main stages of the Ohrid Summer Festival.
The theatre is very well maintained and perched on a hill with breathtaking views of Ohrid, the lake, and the mountains.
World-famous stars have performed here. One of the most famous is Jose Carreras (a Spanish operatic tenor who is particularly known for his performances in the operas of Donizetti, Verdi, and Puccini), who performed here in 2005 in front of 3,500 people, the maximum capacity.
Be sure to include Samuel's Fortress and Church of Saints Clement and Panteleimon in your walking tour. They are all 10 minutes from each other, have wonderful views of Ohrid, and are full of rich history.
