Teatro Berga

The Teatro Berga featured a semicircular design with an external diameter of 82 meters and contained multiple entrance points for actors to access the stage area.

Built at the end of the first century BC, the theatre operated until the third century AD before its transformation into a prison during the thirteenth century.

The theatre functioned as an entertainment center for Vicenza residents, presenting performances in a structure constructed from local Costozza stone materials.

Visitors can examine artifacts from Teatro Berga at the archaeological museum within Palazzo Gualdo, which maintains a collection of recovered items from the site.

The circular layout of the ancient theatre remains visible from above, as modern buildings follow the original architectural footprint of the Roman structure.
