The Festival of Ancient Ilida was established in 1991 by the “Society of
Friends of Ancient Ilida”, who decided to “bring back” to the present the
prestige of the city that organized the ancient Olympic Games. Performances
take place in the new 1000-seats Theatre built inside the archaeological
site of Ilida, in the Chlemoutsi castle as well as in Saint Sofia of Andravida.
Apart from the protection and promotion of the archaeological site of Ancient
Ilida, the “Society of Friends of Ancient Ilida” aims, in their own words,
“to the
restoration of the crumbled monumental web of Ilida and the
promotion of its historical importance” (See:
www.amaliada.gr).
