Soli theatre
Description
Several large dressed stone blocks form a stepped face against a rubble wall of small stones and earth. A long crack runs down the front of a lower block, and small plants grow among the stones at the foot of the blocks. Loose stones lie on the ground in front, and the stone surfaces look pale and weathered.
