The archeological site of Ancient Corinth is an amazingly remarkable site, located 5 km southwest to the modern city of Corinth, in the heart of the new settlement Archaia Korinthos. The extent of the remains and ruins that contains theaters, buildings and structures: agora, temples, fountains, courtyards, public areas and forums are just slight vestiges giving a hint of the greatness of this ancient city. The site contains 3 separate theaters: (a) The Odeon that is located 130 m west to the Temple of Apollo, and it is in the best condition among the three. The Odeon was built in the last third of the 1st century A.D. and had a capacity of 3,000 spectators. (b) The big theater that was built in the early Hellenistic period and was the largest and the most impressive among the three, with a capacity of 18,000 spectators (located 70 m north to the Odeon). Unfortunately, this magnificent theater has not yet been seriously excavated. and ((c) the Roman Amphitheater that is located 1,200 m northeast to the Temple, in an fenced and abandoned open field, surrounded with olive trees. See in the attached drawing of Ancient Corinth, that was taken from the \Blue Guide: Greece the Mainland\. Note the blue “X” on Temple of Apollo and the sizes of the Odeon and the big Theater. Bottom line, an impressive site of tremendous historical value. But the big theater is disappointing as it requires serious restoration and renovation works in order to resore its glory. There is admission fee in the entrance and if you've come this far, don't miss a visit to the interesting Archaeological Museum that is located at the center of the site.

Nije puno ostalo. Tek naznake. Verovatno će arheolozi u budućnosti iskopati više

Θα έπρεπε να υπάρχει μεγαλύτερη ανάδειξη του χώρου αυτού.

Otro bonito lugar aunque todavía no se puede apreciar la magnitud de la obra.
