Roman Theatre of Catania
Behind the modern street frontage, the Roman Theatre opens onto a broad ancient cavea, vaulted passages and layers of the earlier Greek site. Allow about an hour inside.
Behind an ordinary street frontage, the Roman Theatre opens into ancient seating and vaulted passages that are easy to miss from outside. Walking through the site reveals how the theatre fits within later city blocks and the earlier Greek layers beneath them. Allow about an hour; the neighbouring Odeon is included in the same archaeological visit.
