Roman Theatre of Braga, Roman theatre ruins in Maximinos district, Portugal.

The Roman Theatre of Braga features a semicircular structure with supporting walls positioned at 11.5-meter intervals, extending across 72 meters in diameter.

Construction of the theatre occurred in the early second century CE, alongside thermal baths, marking the expansion of Roman entertainment facilities in Bracara Augusta.

Archaeological excavations at the site uncovered numerous artifacts including terra sigillata pottery, amphorae, lamps, and glass items from Roman through medieval periods.

The theatre site maintains protected status and connects to the Regional Museum of Archaeology D. Diogo de Sousa through Rua Damião de Góis.

This structure stands as the sole outdoor Roman theatre in Portugal and the only Roman theatre discovered in northwestern Iberia.
