The Ancient Greek-Roman Theatre in central city is the most important monument in Taormina. Constructed by greeks during 200 B.C. and remodelled by romans into an arena with circus games and gladiatorial shows. The second biggest in Sicily with an diameter of 109 meters and an arena of 35 m2. At the top of the steps there is a double porch, covered by a vault. Thirty-six small niches open by the wall of the porch, perhaps served to accommodate some statues.
