Ancient Theatre

The only Hellenistic theatre in North Macedonia, built in the 3rd century BC when the city was known as Lychnidos. The theatre is partly carved into the hillside beneath Samuil's Fortress and can accommodate several thousand spectators. It is still used today for the Ohrid Summer festival and other cultural events.
