The Conservatory of Kos

The conservatory was constructed in the 3rd century AD and was made up of a hollow area on the southern side and the orchestra and stage on the northern side. The hollow of the building was supported by big built columns in the back area and the exterior walls. Among the columns there were semi-circle arcades and
a line of rooms which were used as shops and workshops. In the interior arcades of the conservatory, marble statues were discovered from the Greek and Roman period. These exhibits can be seen today in the museum of Kos. The conservatory is congressional and musical competitions and choirs were held there.
