Area archeologica di Tindari

The archaeological area spans 27 hectares and contains Greek-Roman ruins including a theatre, thermal baths, and residential structures with peristyle courtyards.

Dionysus of Syracuse established Tyndaris in 396 BC as a military outpost, which later became a Roman colony under Augustus in 36 BC.

The archaeological museum displays marble statues of toga-wearing figures, ceramics from the Bronze Age, and Roman oil lamps from the Republican period.

The site maintains regular visiting hours and provides guided tours through its ancient streets, with access from Via del Teatro Greco in Patti.

The Greek theatre, built with sandstone blocks in the 3rd century BC, was modified by Romans to accommodate circus games.
