Bouleuterion / Odeion
The building oriented in the north-south direction is located in the southern part of the Acropolis, just east of the Theatre. Like the Theatre, it has a panorama dominating over the Pamphylian Plains and the Mediterranean Sea. Only the foundation of its analemma wall and the details of the buttresses supporting it are discernible in detail. All other parts were destroyed by landslides and flowed downhill. Architectural details suggest that it was a small-scale building. It is known that such structures were generally used as Bouleuterion (City Council House) or Odeon (small theatre, concert hall) rather than for theatral functions. Considering the fact that almost all ancient cities had a council house, especially in the Hellenistic period, it may be proposed that this structure was a Bouleuterion. Indeed, a council house is mentioned in the inscriptions. Since it is generally known that Bouleuteria became Odeons during and after the Roman Imperial period, it should not be overlooked that this monument may have been used as an Odeon as well. No data is available on the history of the building. However, it is plausible to think that it has similar construction features as the Theatre, so it may have been built in the Hellenistic period and remained in use afterwards.
