One of the oldest and most important Hellenic oracle sites in Greece with an amphitheater of exceptional acoustics. The well preserved theater is a must-see and hosts theatrical performances. It was built in the 3rd century BC, during the reign of Pyrrhus, and was destroyed by the Roman consul Lucius Aemilius Paullus, in 167 BC. Under Roman rule, it was restored and turned into an arena.
Dodona in Epirus in northwestern Greece was the oldest Hellenic oracle, possibly dating to the 2nd millennium BCE according to Herodotus. The earliest accounts in Homer describe Dodona as an oracle of Zeus. Situated in a remote region away from the main Greek poleis, it was considered second only to the Oracle of Delphi in prestige.
