    The Odeon has been greatly renovated over the years, it has twenty three seating rows and could accommadate 1400 people. At the front there is a half circular stage where the acts and musicions used to perform. It is believed that the Odeon was once a roofed building but no real proof of this actully exists

    The Odeion, in which State events and concerts were held, was ordered to be constructed, by Publius Vedius Antoninus and his wife Flavia Papiana, two wealthy citizens of Ephesus, in 2AD. The Odeion seated an audience of 1450 and was enclosed. Since the podium next to the orchestra and the stage section do not conform to the style of a typical Roman theatre, the structure was most likely used primarly as a meeting hall for the Municipal Council. The location of government structures alongside strengthens this view.

    The Odeon is a small theatre that sit at the top of the Cuertes Way. It was built by commission by Publius Vedius Antoninus and his wife Flavia Papiana, two wealthy citizens of Ephesus, in the 2nd century AD. The Odeon was used for state assemblies and for small theatre productions. Apparently it was completely enclosed and sat over 1450 persons. I hit the Odeon at the height of the tourist traffic. It was teaming with tour groups who were constantly getting the way of photo shots.

    A theatre for smaller crowd where state affairs and concerts were held. It has a capacity of 1450 people, and it was used mainly for the city council meetings. It has 3 doors opening from the stage to the podium. The podium is narrow and one meter higher than the orchestra section, which is next to the podium. The Odeon used to be enclosed with a wooden roof.
