Roman Theatre of Locri

The Roman Theatre of Locri contains stone seating areas, stage foundations, and architectural elements demonstrating classical performance venue construction methods.

The theatre stands within Epizephyrian Locri, a Greek settlement established around 680 BC that later developed under Roman influence in southern Italy.

Ancient performances at the theatre combined Greek theatrical traditions with Roman entertainment practices, reflecting the cultural exchange between these civilizations.

Visitors can reach the archaeological site through Contrada Pirettina street in Locri, with guided tours available to explore the theatre remains.

The theatre's position within the ancient city walls provides evidence of urban planning practices and entertainment venue placement in Roman settlements.
