Entering this door at number 266 you enter this wonderful theater. Restored by the Romans in the 1st century. The thing that leaves you speechless is that from the outside it looks like a normal inhabited building. (entrance 6 euros). With a diameter of about 80 meters, it could accommodate up to 7,000 spectators. The orchestra, the cavea and some remains of the scene are still visible today. The lower part where the orchestra resided is often flooded.
