トレカーゼ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

テアトロ・グランデは紀元前2世紀に建てられました。馬蹄形の座席（カヴェア）を作るために、斜面の自然の窪みが利用されました。カヴェアは3つのゾーンに分かれていました。オーケストラに最も近い場所には、大理石で覆われた4つの連続した段があり、音楽家や街の最も重要な人物のために予約されていました。その背後には、20列の石の座席がありました。残念ながら、これらの巨大な構造物の残骸はわずかしか残っていません。一つの断片には座席番号がまだ残っており、各人にはわずか40cmしか割り当てられていなかったことがわかります。 上部の座席は7つのセクターに分かれ、環状の通路で支えられており、側面の入り口の上にあるロッジアと共に、アウグストゥス帝の治世中に増築されました。これにより、劇場は約5,000人の観客を収容できるようになりました。座席全体は、太陽や悪天候から観客を保護するために使用された巨大な移動式テントであるヴェラリウム（velarium）を支える壁で覆われていました。 大理石と彫像で飾られた舞台とスカエナは、ポンペイを襲った地震の後、西暦62年の修復によるものです。

Still in use today, well preserved and renovated building.

A tourist magnet but also really worth it. The museum and the tour are very exciting and I would definitely recommend it. It feels like a journey back in time to the lives of people in the past.

The Large Theatre was among the first public buildings unearthed during the excavations of the 18th century. Its construction probably dates back to the mid 2nd century BC, and was built by utilising the natural slope of a hillside, thereby avoiding the need for artificial stone substructures. The staircase was divided into three segments by means of circular corridors, in turn subdivided into five zones, and rested upon a passage with a barrel vault. As evidenced by an inscription, during the age of Augustus (31 BC - AD 14) the theatre underwent extensive restoration works, financed by two distinguished members of the gens Holconia, one of the most influential Pompeian families of the era. A further inscription, visible at the entrance to the east access corridor, records the name of the architectus who directed the works during the Augustan age, the freedman Marcus Artorius Primus. The building, which retains an essentially Greek appearance, was used for the performance of shows in the Greco-Roman tradition.

A magnificent archaeological site

The theatre was where performances of comedies and tragedies were held. It included a semi-circular cavea from which led the series of steps divided into sections on which the spectators sat.
