The  Theatre  -  1  of  3
Although now there are only 9 rows of seats in the auditorium, there would originally have been around 30, of which nothing remains. Unlike the seating however, the scenae frons (stage backdrop) is in excellen condition and is extremely elaborate and belongs to a style of Roman architecture called the eastern-baroque.
