A theater with a view
Ancient Cassope
The large theater of Cassope was constructed in the 3rd century BCE in a hill. It had a capacity of about 6,000 people who could enjoy the spectacles offered by the city. They would also definitely enjoy the panoramic view that enables them to see Preveza, the Ionian Sea, the Ambracian Gulf and the coast of Akarnania. The theater fell silent along with the entire city at the end of the 1st century BCE. The passing centuries, natural decay and the tumbling rocks from the hill above turned it into a vast ruin. Today, more than twenty centuries since it was abandoned, the theater of Cassope comes back to life with a comprehensive restoration programme that will enable spectators to sit in the auditorium and enjoy the spectacular view.
