★★★★★10 months agoThis place is really cool. It’s free and easy to find. It is one of the cooler Roman ruins because it is still being used today. It was fun watching people enjoy it like a park. Would highly recommend visiting then heading over to the museum!
Alice P
★★★★★a month agoIt’s free to enter the theatre part and it’s open 24x7. At night it lights up and it looks a lot more impressive than during daytime. The most impressive part was the original road that was more than 2000 years old that you get to walk on. Not suitable for disabled people with wheelchair. Elderly people needs to be careful as the rocky paving Road is very uneven to walk on. The future of the city is very impressive
