The Odeon of Herodes Atticus is a stone theatre structure completed in AD 161 and situated on the southwest slope of the Acropolis in Athens. Built in the ancient Roman architectural style and constructed from marble and stone, this 28-metre-high edifice was significantly renovated in 1950. Originally commissioned by the wealthy Athenian patron Herodes Atticus, the odeon represents a remarkable survival of Roman-era performance architecture in Greece, now preserved as an archaeological site.
