Built in the beginning of II century A.C. during the rule of the Roman Emperor Traianus /98-117/, the theatre was one of the most important building in Trimontium, remarkable with its architectural impressiveness and splendor. The ancient theatre 5 to 7 thousand spectators. The stage itself was decorated with ornaments, cornices and statues. It was unearthed during archaeological excavations in 1968-79 by Plovdiv Archaeological Museum. The amphitheatre featured 28 carved stone rows of which 20 remained intact. Now as a part of the Ancient Plovdiv Reserve, the theatre fits its ensemble as the most emblematic venue of the uninterrupted culture and historical succession ever accomplished in the Three Hills City.
Revived for a new life, it is an attractive intellectual centre of the city, where the modern culture interacts with the intransitive values of the past.
