Teatro Civico

The Teatro Civico is a neoclassical building in Sassari with a horseshoe-shaped hall that extends across three levels of balconies. The symmetrical facade features four ionic columns and presents a refined appearance throughout.

The building was designed by architect Giuseppe Cominotti in 1826 as a replacement for a medieval palace that once stood there. It opened to audiences in 1829.

The theatre serves as a central gathering place for the community, hosting performances, concerts, and exhibitions throughout the year. It remains an essential venue where people come together for cultural experiences.

The theatre sits on Corso Vittorio Emanuele II and offers 290 seats with complete wheelchair access throughout. Visitors should check ahead to see which performances are scheduled during their visit.

During the Faradda di li candareri festival, the mayor performs the traditional intregu ceremony from the theatre balcony. This blend of a modern building and an old tradition makes the theatre a place where the city celebrates its identity.
