Roman Theatre of Trieste, Roman theatre in central Trieste, Italy
The Roman Theatre features stone seating arrangements carved into the hillside, with a capacity between 3,500 and 6,000 spectators during ancient performances.
Construction of the theatre began at the end of the first century BC under Quinto Petronio Modesto, a prosecutor during Emperor Trajan's reign.
The archaeological site maintains its connection to performing arts through outdoor summer events, continuing a tradition that spans over two millennia.
Located at Via del Teatro Romano, the theatre remains open for external viewing throughout the year, with artifacts displayed at San Giusto Castle.
The structure remained hidden beneath residential buildings for centuries until its rediscovery in 1814, with major excavations completed in 1938.
