Parco della Musica, Concert hall and theatre complex in Parioli, Italy
The Auditorium Parco della Musica is a concert hall and theatre complex in the Parioli district of Rome with three main halls of different sizes. The largest hall offers over 2,700 seats, the middle one more than 1,100, and the smallest around 670 seats for different performance formats.
Construction work in the 1990s uncovered the remains of a Roman villa, leading to archaeological excavations beneath the central courtyard. A small museum was established to preserve these ancient finds and make them accessible to visitors.
The name honors Saint Cecilia, patron saint of music, who has been linked to Roman musical tradition for centuries. Today orchestras and ensembles use the halls for performances, while visitors stroll through the park between concerts and enjoy the open atmosphere.
The complex sits near public transport and has ample parking for drivers. A large park surrounds the buildings and offers space to relax before or after performances.
The roofs of the three halls are covered with lead and resemble oversized musical instruments arranged in a circle around an open-air theatre. This amphitheatre holds around 3,000 spectators and is used for outdoor performances.
