Deeply influenced by architectural styles of ancient Greece, its design draws inspiration from their solid amphitheaters, featuring a semicircular arrangement of terraced seating that adds a personal touch to the outdoor vibe that the venue is known for. Tall, ornate columns reminiscent of the Doric and Ionic orders, add a sense of grandeur to the structure, framing the stage where artists and performers take center stage.
