Roman Theatre of Saguntum
Roman Theatre of Saguntum, Roman theatre at the foot of Castle Hill in Sagunto, Spain
The Roman Theatre of Saguntum features limestone construction with a semicircular seating area that accommodates 8,000 spectators facing a raised performance stage.
Constructed during the first century BC under the reigns of emperors Septimius Severus and Caracalla, the theatre underwent multiple restorations following centuries of deterioration.
The theatre holds regular classical drama performances and educational programs that demonstrate Roman theatrical traditions within its restored ancient setting.
Visitors access the theatre through guided tours from Tuesday to Sunday, with detailed explanations about the structure's architectural elements and construction techniques.
Natural materials and traditional Roman building methods distinguish original sections from reconstructed parts through a specialized limestone shell covering the ancient stone.
