In the archaeological site of Dodona, the ancient theatre stands out.

The ancient theater of Dodona was constructed in the 3rd century BC by Pyrrhus, king of Epirus, as part of a redevelopment program of the sacred site of the oracle of Dodona. The theater had a capacity of 18 000 spectators and at the time it was the largest in Greece.

The auditorium stood in the natural cavity of Mount Tomaros and had huge stands divided into tiers. The stage of the theater was a two-story building with adjacent rooms that served as backstage.

The theater experienced two major disasters, with first being the one by the Aetolians in 219 BC, when it was fortunately immediately repaired. The second time, it was destroyed by the Romans in 167 BC and the findings indicate that the stage was set on fire. A few years later, the Romans decide to rebuilt it, but this time it is converted into an arena that also hosts wild animals. The theater was maintained in this form until the 4th century AD. From that point on, it was abandoned and gradually buried under the soil, until the archaeological excavations of the late 19th century brought it to life.

Today the theater of Dodona has been restored in its most part. It is one of the best preserved ancient theaters in Greece and during the summer it even hosts theatrical performances.
