Two ancient theaters of vital cultural and archaeological importance have been discovered and exhibited in the city of Larisa.
The 1^st ancient theatre, which was built next to the hill of the Fortress, could accommodate more than 10000 people while it was constructed in the first half of the 3^rd century B.C and operated for about six centuries. A big part of the theatre collapsed due to a large earthquake in the 7^th century A.C. It had, however, stopped operating three centuries ago due to obscure reasons.
Nowadays, the ancient theatre of Larisa has been fully exhibited and there is also a plan for its restoration.
The 2^nd ancient theatre of Larisa dates back to the roman era (1^st century B.C). Two marble rows of seats, the orchestra and a big part of the stage have remained. Nowadays, the archaeological site is bounded and can only be visited after taking permission by the 15^th Ephorate of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities.
