In a private plot of land in the center of the modern city of Acharnes, at 21 Salaminos Street (block 61) excavations revealed a tier with 10 semicircular seats of limestone, as well as two half tiers on either side of the first, part of the graveled orchestra, a small section of the diazoma pathway and the drain of the theater of the ancient city.

General description of Monument

In a private plot of land in the center of the modern city of Acharnes, at 21 Salaminos Street (block 61) excavations revealed a tier with 10 semicircular seats of limestone, as well as two half tiers on either side of the first, part of the graveled orchestra, a small section of the diazoma pathway and the drain of the theater of the ancient city.
The theater dates back to the first half of the 4th century BC. It is oriented towards the N-NW. The orchestra has a horseshoe shape.
It is estimated that the theater can seat 1,500-2,000 spectators.
It used to be a venue of music and singing competitions, ancient theater performances and official ceremonies (announcements of resolutions etc.)
It survived until the late Roman period.

Current situation

Part of the cavea came to light in a relatively good state regarding the conservation of the stone material, with the exception of the western seats, the diazoma pathway and the and epitheater (which appeared to be wooden).

Excavations - Interventions

The excavation of the site began in February 2007 and was stopped in the autumn of the same year.
