In northwestern Turkey, at the ancient city of Konuralpa, archaeological excavations of a 2,300-year-old theater have been completed after seven years. The next phase – restoration and preservation of the theater – will now commence. During the excavations, several significant sculptures and a mosaic were uncovered, helping to enrich the understanding of life in the ancient city and ancient Greek culture.
