We payed the entrance fee 1,5 leva (75 cents) and entered the building. The theater, one of the best preserved in the world, was built in the 1st century AD, when the city was known as Philippopolis (before becoming Trimontium), and the whole cavea, or spectator seats, is still perfectly intact, while the stage has some columns still standing. The view from there was very nice, with the modern city just below, and the Rhodope mountains far in the distance.

right in the middle of the city, appeared by chance (an earthquake) this stadium, witness of the Roman Empire; Plovdiv was capital of a Roman province, Tracia, and thanks to that the Emperor Marcus Aurelius decided to invest for a better living of the inhabitants a city under the the city, two worlds and 1800 years in between the area was very nice restored and is very well included int the nowadays city there is a short available 3D movie, which helps for a better understanding of what was the role of this stadium; ask for tickets, you will have a visit for an old house (National Revival style) included
