Teatro di Marcello

  Dating back to 13 BC, Teatro di Marcello sits adjacent to the vibrant Jewish Ghetto in Rome. This ancient open-air theater, commissioned by Julius Caesar, was designed to hold around 20,000 spectators and is often regarded as a precursor to the more famous Colosseum. While it no longer hosts performances, visitors can admire its impressive ruins, which include three levels of arches and a layout still visible today. In spring, the site is particularly appealing as the surrounding areas bloom with local flora, adding to the scenery. Exploring this historic site allows guests to delve into Rome's rich theatrical past while taking in the lively atmosphere of the nearby streets.
