Very impressive this ancient Roman theater with the church in front and the ruins of the old castle behind. Be careful, the climb can be slippery.

The Roman theater has been the town's main attraction since the 1st century. It is located at the foot of the medieval castle and was opened to the public relatively recently after various excavations and restoration works.
