aosta roman theatre


The Roman Theatre in Aosta is a remarkable testament to the architectural prowess of the ancient Romans. Constructed in the late reign of Augustus, around the first century BC, it showcases the grandeur of Roman public buildings. The theatre's remains, particularly the impressive southern façade which stands at 22 meters high, give us a glimpse into the past where up to 4,000 spectators could have gathered to enjoy performances. Today, it continues to captivate visitors, reflecting the enduring legacy of Roman engineering and cultural life.
