Built in 13 BC and named after Emperor Augustus' nephew, Marcus Marcello. An open air theatre that originally held up to 20,000 onlooker. Built primarily of Tuff, a type of rock made of volcanic ash.

Classical music concerts here all Sumer long at 8:30pm, with the ruins as a backdrop. No need to book in advance.

Stephen Smythe

Simply beautiful up close. Connects to the portico/ancient fish market/church. The restoration story is well detailed.

Konstantina

A beautiful little coliseum right next to the Ghetto neighborhood . In the summer apparently it's used for concerts still. We were not able to get in for a visit.

Boaz Sachs

Amazingly this 13bc structure once held 20k people. Today you can walk in amongst the ruins and admire their glory

Andreea Bks

Marcellus' theater was the largest and most imposing theater of ancient Rome.

Olaf Bottek

Consider it the small Colosseo - well kind of. It's not that big, not that impressive. Bit you can really touch it and get close to it. Way less people there.

Ali Latifi

It's well-located with easy access to several commuter and tourist buses . On Wednesday and Sunday the Marriott bus stops here.

Muy parecido al coliseo en su forma, aunque este es más pequeño, está muy céntrico así que vale la pena caminarlo, alrededor más monumentos y tiendas que vale la pena conocer.

Puri L. González

Una zona poco comentada pero que bien se merece un paseo

Jeremy Hertmans

Magnifique théâtre antique

Daniel Bueno

Muito mais belo que a descrição feita pelos guias. Dedique algum tempo a sua apreciação.

Paula Freire

Uma das opções gratuitas pra quem vem a Roma com orçamento apertado. Seria massa se pudéssemos visitar o teatro por dentro.

Zero Guide

Concerti di musica classica ogni sera con i ruderi romani a a fare da cornice. Per completare il quadro andateci in carrozza o a cavallo .

Erick Saenz

Vale la pena recorerlo y visitar el resto de las edificaciones cercanas.

Frédéric Latour

Théâtre antique étrangement converti en palais . La superposition est plutôt dérangeante.
