Ancient Theatre of Bodrum

The Ancient Theatre of Bodrum was built in the 4th century BC during the reign of Mausolus, the satrap of Caria—the same ruler whose tomb (the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus) became one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Carved into the slope of Göktepe Hill, about 2 km northwest of modern Bodrum (ancient Halicarnassus).
