It's not as big as the theatre in Syracuse, it doesn't have breathtaking panoramic views as the theatre in Taormina. And yet, I was more impressed by the Roman Theatre in Catania than by the others. Probably, the fact that I saw this one first...More

Agree with others that this is not well-signed (we actually did walk right by it) and could use some maintenance. But it offers a fascinating look at a Roman theater. Unlike other sites we visited, you could walk all over the site, including the stage...More

There's so much to see but the little off shoots are easily missed. Take care and do see everything it is fascinating and well worth the money to see inside. Hidden from the outside world it's a little gem to get to.

Well worth the entrance fee of €6 but we got lucky and visited it on the first Sunday of the month, and has tradition has it all monuments throughout Italy are free on this auspicious Sunday. Brilliant Greek theatre, with small museum. Very well preserved...More

This little ancient arena is placed in the middle of the centre os Catania and you wouldn't even know it! Its hidden behind a mainstreet. Once you are in there is a calmness and beauty about the place. You can go all the way up...More

We found this completely by accident ( Hidden behind what is basically a shop front). But what a find!!.. For anyone with any interest in history. Above ground has obviously weathered a bit in the last 2000 years :-) , but underground, all the tunnels...More

My best advice is to skip this one. They charge 6 € basically for nothing. The antic theatre is nice and all but small and under construction or something (there were a lot of wood panels everywhere). If you have been to places like Rome...More

According to our information this structure is second only in size to the Coliseum in Rome - you really have to want to find it though because it is surrounded by modern buildings and the entrance looks like a normal doorway. We saw it from...More
