Nördliches Amphitheater

Entrance fee paid to TC citizens

A place where you can see the life of the Laodicea region. I'm finding a lot right now. A church building built in the Roman era is also being excavated.

It is an impressive theater, although the editing work has not started yet. It looks towards the front of Gonca train station.

Unfortunately, the theater was used as a source of stone and lime production until 1990 (!!)! Almost nothing remains...
