Abstract :Anatolia has hosted various civilizations from the beginning of history to the present. Some of the architectural works left by these civilizations have been preserved and survived until today. Among the works from the Classical, Hellenistic, and Roman periods, theatres stand out with their artistic and technical features and magnificence. Studies on the subject are related to partial or single structures. It has been determined that comprehensive research has yet to be conducted. Within the scope of this article, thorough documentation of theatres in Anatolia has been made using data obtained through fieldwork and literature review. The theatres, whose construction periods and level of preservation were determined, were typologically analyzed regarding their excavation-restoration status, orientations, and plan types and presented in graphical expressions.
