The Ancient Macedonian Theatre of Ohrid is a magnificent piece of history. Built back in 200 BC, it is the only Hellenistic type theatre left in the country. Located at the foot of two hills, the theatre offers an ideal setting for performances or just to admire its remarkable architecture. It also boasts having perfect acoustics due to the natural protection from the hills which prevent winds from interfering with the shows. Visitors can enjoy watching plays, concerts, operas, and ballets at this open theatre as it still hosts such performances today, including those by the Bolshoi and José Carreras as part of the Ohrid Summer Festival. To top that off, the theatre had been buried by locals after the fall of the Roman Empire, making it well preserved for onlookers today. So join us in this incredible journey, and don’t miss out on your chance to witness the mesmerizing beauty of the Ancient Theatre of Ohrid!
