Highlights

- Famous across the classical world
- Occasionally hosts musical events
The Ancient Theater of Epidaurus might look like an entertainment theater, but it was actually once a surgery theater. Here, in the 4th century BCE, healers and doctors would perform medicine, with a religious twist, in front of crowds of onlookers—which explains why it’s dedicated to Asclepius, the ancient Greek God of medicine. When it comes to acoustics and aesthetics, this Greek theater reigns supreme.
