The ancient Odeon of Kos was built by the Romans around the 2nd and the 3rd centuries. It was found in the early 20th century along with the Gymnasium and the Roman baths, all of them in generally good condition. These constructions are placed on the east and west of the Casa Romana, which is part of the Ancient Town and its several excavation areas.

On the southern outskirts of Kos Town stands the ancient city's restored Odeon. Built in th 2nd century AD this was a music conservatory and doubled as a meeting place for the senate. At that time the Odeon had a roof and was able to seat 750 people on 14 rows of stone benches. The first nine were made of marblw and reserved for the city's s elite, while the granite back five wwere for normal citizens. Since the stracture was excavated in 1929, those front nine rows have been restored. Check what's on the calendar when you come to Kos, as the Odeon is still used as a music venue in summer

The Roman Odeon in Kos Town was built in the 2nd century AD, was consequently damaged by the 142 AD earthquake, then repaired during the reign of Emperor Antoninus Pius (AD 137-161). The odeum was the venue for the public sessions of the senate as well as for music contests. It is very possible that competitions of encomia (high praise, eulogy) for the Roman emperors were held on the occasion of the quinquennial festival of the Great Asklepieia, when musicians and poets from Greece and Asia gathered on the island of Kos.
