Stunning Roman theatre
This is a must see attraction. Almost nowhere else can you see the ancient stage backdrop features so well preserved. It is so impressive with the mountain backdrop too. The lady at the ticket booth was friendly and helpful, giving us a town map. The entrance price was cheap but you can also get a multi site ticket which you can save money on. The theatre was built in the 1dt century AD and would have seated 5000 people and showed performances. Absolutely must see it. It will not take alot of time to go around but the atmosphere is fantastic. No info signs but there is a leaflet.

Impressive
Situated at the top of the Old Town on a steep hill. The entrance at the top gives you a great panoramic view looking downhill. The steps down are rather steep and the seating is on stone slabs. There is a pretty large stage which was being prepared for a concert or play. There was also a decent small cafe just outside the gate with some seating ideal for a drink afterwards
