Roman theatre of Guelma, Roman theatre in Guelma, Algeria
The semicircular Roman theatre features alabaster terraces and stone seating, creating an amphitheatre surrounded by a high wall with doors and niches.
The theatre was constructed between the late 2nd and early 3rd centuries AD under Emperor Septimius Severus, requiring 30,000 gold pieces for completion.
The orchestra section, adorned with pink alabaster flooring, was designated for nobles and sovereigns during performances in ancient Roman times.
The theatre maintains a capacity of 4,500 spectators and requires an entrance fee of 70 Algerian Dinars for visitors exploring the structure.
Three substantial niches positioned at the amphitheatre's summit contained statues, while the front section was rebuilt in 1904 using discovered architectural elements.
