Best time to visit
Tidlig morgen før kl. 9, når lyset er blødere, og der ikke er turistgrupper. Om aftenen er det magisk, fordi teatret oplyses med varme lys i sommermånederne.
Budget tips
Entré er gratis, hvilket gør det til en sjælden antikvitet i Taormina, der ikke opkræver billet. Kombinér besøget med en gåtur ad Corso Umberto, som starter lige ved siden af teatret.

About
Quick facts: This Roman theater from the 1st century AD can hold about 3,500 spectators, and from its seats it offers a view of Mount Etna and the sea. Unlike the larger Greek theater in the city, this smaller building remained buried until 1892, when it was accidentally discovered during construction works.
Highlights: When you climb to the highest rows of seats, you can see how the ancient arches merge with the medieval walls that lean directly against them. This is the only place in Sicily where Roman arches and Norman fortifications are intertwined in such a direct and visually striking way.
Insider tips
- Tag gode sko med god sål på, da stentrappetrinene er slidt glatte efter tusindvis af års brug
- Det bedste foto tages fra gaden, der fører til teatret, med triumfbuen i forgrunden
- Spring middagsbesøget over i juli og august, når solen rammer stensæderne direkte
- Find den lille niche bag scenen, hvor romerne opbevarede gudestatuer
