Teatro di Marcello

Teatro di Marcello Review

This theater was begun by Julius Caesar and completed by the emperor Augustus in AD 13. Rome's first permanent building dedicated to drama, it held 20,000 spectators. Like other Roman monuments, it was transformed into a fortress during the Middle Ages. During the Renaissance, it was converted into a residence by the Savelli, one of the city's noble families. The small archaeological zone is used as a summer venue for open-air classical music and lyrical concerts.
