The ancient theatre of Prusias ad Hypium (Konuralp) in Düzce exhibits Classical Greco-Roman architectural features and consists of three main sections:

Cavea (Seating Areas): Built against the natural slope and known locally as "Forty Steps," this semicircular seating area for spectators has three different seating levels (Lower, Middle, Upper) separated by walkways (diazoma).

Orchestra: This is the circular platform in front of the stage. Located in the center of the theatre, it is where chorus and dance performances took place. Skene (Stage Building): This is the tall structure located directly behind the orchestra. Remains of the main building, where actors prepared, sets were displayed, and the theatre's acoustics were maintained, remain.
