Odeion of Herod Attikus, Athens

SOURCE: Greek National Tourism Organization, used with permission.

The Odeon (odeion in Greek) of Herodes (Herod) Atticus is a stone theatre structure located on the south slope of the Acropolis of Athens.

It was built in 161 AD by Herodes Atticus in memory of his wife, Aspasia Annia Regilla.

It was originally a steep-sloped amphitheater with a three-story stone front wall and a wooden roof, and was used as a venue for music concerts with a capacity of 5,000.
