This theatre has a history stretching back more than two thousand years. It is impressive how the Greeks could find the perfect spot for audio and visual effects. Modern technology enhances this scenografic location.

However it is just more than the building: the scripts, written around 400BC, are still so relevant nowadays because they describe human nature in such depth you’ll be surprised.

Why Greek theatre here? Because Siracusa was the second largest Greek town in the Mediterranean sea after Athens.
