About
Quick facts: This theatre seats about 1500 spectators and is one of the oldest surviving Roman structures in the city. Overlooked for centuries, it was rediscovered in the mid-20th century beneath later buildings.
Highlights: Visualize the curved rows of marble seating hugging an ancient orchestra pit once alive with gladiator and theatrical displays. Lush gardens now frame the ruins, creating a serene contrast to the lively performances once held here.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes as paths can be uneven and include some steps.
- Bring a camera for the dramatic lighting in the afternoon when the sun casts deep shadows across the seating.
- Avoid mid-day visits during peak summer as it gets very hot and crowded.
- Check for any special evening events or reenactments for a unique experience.
