This theater is in better condition than all other theaters built in the ancient times .In order to keep with Hellenistic traditionsa small part of the theater was built so that it leaned against the hill where the Citadel (Acropolis)stoodwhile almost all of the other parts were buit onvaulted arches . The high stage served to seemingly isolate the audience from the rest of the world.The very top section of this stage has been repaired and the acoustics were ameliorated with later additons .Because the stage area was later used as a caravansarai in Seljuk timesit was continuously repaired and maintained .Thusthe Aspendos Theater has been able to survive to this days without losing almost any of its original qualities.
