Burdur, Altınyayla, Yanık village

The ancient city of Balboura has two theatres. The upper theatre is not only the highest in Lycia but one of the two highest theatres in Turkey at 1,564 meters above sea level. Sagalassos theatre is located at practically the same altitude. The upper and lower theatres are placed in such a way that each is visible from the other. The perfection of the stonework of the foundation support walls rising from the stage building of the upper theatre located on a steep slope is astounding. It is evident that in the formation of the cavea the existing rocks were left mainly untouched and skipped over in the construction of the rows of benches. Thus, the rows of benches continue as far as nature permits to the right and the left of large rocks appearing in their line of construction, leaving the rocks untouched. The total number of rows may be 26. The stage building was made on a steep slope with strong supporting walls. This building is 29 feet wide and 49 feet long.
