Taormina Ancient Theatre
Every year, Taormina's Ancient Theater attracts crowds enticed by its rich history and the allure of this ancient marvel. Carved into Sicilian hills, it stands as a well-preserved testament to Ancient Greece and Rome. Offering stunning vistas of the Bay of Naxos to the south and the Strait of Messina with the Calabrian coast to the north, the ancient Amphitheater consists of three sections: the stage, the orchestra, and the cavea. Flanking the stage and stalls are two spacious side rooms. Once accommodating around 10,000 spectators (now 4,500), it remains a venue for opera and theater performances, a resilient testament to its enduring legacy over 2,000 years.
This experience grants you access to an audio guide accessible via your phone, available in 5 languages. These guides provide insights about the theatre and enable you to explore at your own pace.
