Odeon

The Odeon of Rhodes is a small marble theater, built into the eastern slope of the acropolis hill. It dates back to the second century before Christ and was originally part of a larger gymnasium complex dedicated to the education of local youth. With a seating capacity of approximately eight hundred people, the structure was divided into upper and lower sections by stone staircases and likely served as a venue for musical performances, poetry recitals, and lessons in rhetoric.
