The Ancient Theatre
The Ancient Theater is not only a piece of the archaeological patrimony in Taormina, but it is also a place of incomparable panoramic beauty.

The view spaces from the bay of Naxos to Italy mainland coasts, Mount Etna and the village of Castelmola.

Is it Greek or Roman? Probably it was built by the Greeks and restructured and widened in the Roman age.

The ancient Theater is one of the principal attractions in Taormina. Perfectly fit and working, it gives hospitality to the the most important italian Cinema Festivals, and is today center of the "Taorminarte" international festival which goes on for the whole summer period with theatrical and cinema reviews, ballet and symphonic music shows.

It is the symbol of the town .
