Theatre of Dionysus
Located at the very foot of Acropolis. Dedicated to Dionysus (the Greek Counterpart to Bacchus...basically the Wine, Arts and Party God) the amphitheatre seats 14,000 people, is still used, and has excellent acoustics to this day.
The first stone theater ever built, and suppose to be the birthplace of Greek Tragedy.
It has been rebuilt several times and this version was done by the Romans in the First Century by commissioned by Nero.
