Roman Theatre of Florence, Roman theatre in Florence, Italy
The Roman theatre structure spans 100 meters in length and 35 meters in width beneath the current Palazzo Vecchio and Palazzo Gondi.
Built during the 1st century AD, the theatre accommodated 15,000 spectators, matching the capacity of Teatro Marcello in Rome.
The semicircular structure stands as evidence of Roman architectural influence on Florence, with its auditorium facing Piazza della Signoria.
Visitors can examine a detailed model of the ancient theatre structure at the Florence Museum, which presents the original layout.
Archaeological excavations of the theatre began in 1876 and continue today, with recent investigations conducted in 2006 by Riccardo Francovich.
