Odeum/Bouleuterion Unexcavated 2

View looking west at the unexcavated remains of the Odeum. The “orchestra” area is in the left center of the image and the stage/podium on the far left. In the upper right, several rows of seat are visible.

This picture was taken in January 2005.

As an Odeum it might have been covered and used for lectures and concerts. It may have also served as a bouleuterion, that is, a council chamber. An inscription has been found that indicates that musical contests were held at Laodicea.
