Beautiful 25,000 Seat Theater
The Library of CelsusThe Turkish government is still excavating and restoring some of the old city including the beautiful Library of Celsus and the 25,000 seat theater. We couldn't tour into the theater but, unlike Greece, we were able to go just about anywhere else we wanted. Though the theater was started much earlier, the finished structures were both built during the Roman rein of Trajan (98-117 A.D.). The library was reported to be the largest in the world during it's heyday until it was destroyed by fire.
