Ancient City of Bosra, Roman archaeological complex in southern Syria.
The black basalt stone Roman theater at Bosra displays precise engineering with its three-story stage building and seating capacity of 15,000 spectators.
The city evolved from a Nabataean trading post to become the capital of the Roman province of Arabia Petraea in 106 CE.
The city contains structures from multiple civilizations, including Roman temples, Byzantine churches, and early Islamic mosques built between the 2nd and 8th centuries.
Visitors need to obtain permits and arrange local transportation to access the archaeological site, which opens from 8 AM to 5 PM daily.
The Roman theater survives intact due to its integration into a medieval fortress, with defensive walls constructed around its perimeter.
