The Roman theatre was built during the 1st century AD as the amphitheater.
The theatre is easily recognizable thanks to its excellent archaeological remains: the magnificent facade with its lower stone seating blocks for the audience, and the orchestra. On the other side it is the foundations of the wall that acted as a backdrop, behind which were the dressing rooms and warehouses.
When the theatre fell into disuse, other buildings were erected and the facade became the retaining wall for other constructions.
