Archaeological Site of the Roman Theater

The theatre, probably built in the early Augustan age, had been incorporated into later constructions and was only partly rediscovered and restored in 1926.

The tiers of seats in the cavea, which had a diameter of about 77 metres, could seat about three thousand spectators; they were supported by a structure in pseudo-square and concrete work, closed by an external portico of pillars made of stone blocks.

The external arched façade probably had a second and third order above the preserved one; from the perimeter corridor, covered by a continuous barrel vault, branched off 21 radial wedge-shaped sectors, also made of stone blocks in the section leaning against the pillars and in opus caementicium the vaults of the external archways.

Part of the travertine slab flooring remains of the orchestra.  Only one of the two monumental entrances to the ima cavea is currently visible.

The scenic front (frons scaenae), has a large central exedra and two rectangular side doors at the sides.

Part of the external architecture is preserved with the entablature and cornice of the first level.

The overall height of the monument was approximately 12 metres.
