The Great Theatre of Ephesos is a monument almost as significant to the cultural identity of the modern
town of Selçuk as it was in ancient times. It was a place of gathering and ceremonial importance in ancient times, and currently the monument is also expected to be a place of interaction for the modern day public. Therefore, conservation planning for the structure focuses on conserving the fabric of the structure and ensuring its stability; the project, however, does not only aim at archaeological conservation but also keeps an open mind about a balanced partial reuse. Furthermore, mid-project results during various stages of work will be produced, allowing continuity in visitor interaction. It is has also been necessary to develop an understanding and assessment of past interventions and usage methods, as well as to continually monitor the effectiveness of current interventions and planning in order to reach applicable conclusions for managing conservation and reuse.
