Roman Theatre

Also known as Teatro Romano

The Roman Theatre in Verona was built in the 1st century BC on the hillside beneath Castel San Pietro, on the opposite side of the Adige river from the more famous Arena. It is the less-visited of Verona's two major Roman monuments, which makes the experience considerably calmer than the Arena.

Verona’s Roman Theatre (Teatro Romano) was built in the 1st century BC on the hillside below Castel San Pietro, across the Adige from the better-known Arena. The archaeological museum in the former monastery above it holds Roman finds from the Veneto region. Less visited than the Arena, it is calmer and gives a more complete picture of the Roman city. Combine with the climb to Castel San Pietro for the panoramic view over the historic center. Check museoarcheologico.comune.verona.it for hours and tickets.
