The village was built in the 16th century and has been described as one of the most beautiful traditional villages of Thrace. A representative sample of neoclassical architecture is the school of Maronia, donation of Hatzea brothers , which operated until recently as an elementary school. The school was built from 1906 to 1908 with building material which consisted mainly of sculptural and architectural pieces in second use from the archaeological site of Ancient Maronia. Can you see the ancient construction pieces on the masonry of the School of Maronia? QuestionText Did you find the spot? Correct Answer YES DescriptionCorrectAnswer Correct!

After the restoration works, which began systematically in 2007, we can admire it as it was in antiquity, but also enjoy theatrical performances. The work included the conservation and restoration of the first three rows of seats, as well as the addition of another three rows. The first construction phase of the theater dates back to the late 4th century BC or to the beginning of the 3rd century BC. Important interventions took place in the Roman period, in the 1st century AD, when the orchestra was transformed into an arena. Observe the architecture of the ancient theater of Maronia. In how many seating sections is the auditorium of the theater divided? Can you find the main change in its construction, which helped its new use in Roman times? QuestionText Did you find the location? Correct Answer YES DescriptionCorrectAnswer Correct! The auditorium was divided in nine seating sections of eight stairways while there was a total of nine rows of seats. The capacity of the theater was 2,500-3,000 spectators. In the Roman period a stone slab was placed in the front row to protect spectators from the beasts and the gladiators. Proceed to the next point for the 2nd stop.

It is carefully built with worked stones in successive layers. Plaster was used as a binder and flattened stone slabs were placed at the joints for greater cohesion. From the outside the octagon is normal with 2.40 m side. Inside there are variations, as its walls are not of equal width. The entrance leads to the north aisle of the church and has a width of 1.27 m. Three windows are on the east north and west sides. Later the entrance to the temple was walled and the western window was turned into an entrance opening. This probably means the discontinuation of the baptistery use.
