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.
