Teatro Marcelo, Roma

[ancientromebuildings]

The Greco-Roman theatre of Monte San Nicola in Campania is built into the side of the mountain and offers a gorgeous view of the surrounding countryside. It has an adjacent temple and it was probably in use between the 1st century BC and the 2nd century AD after which it was abandoned and forgotten. It was rediscovered in 2001 when a local historian noticed an outline of the ruins from an airplane after a recent bushfire had cleared the vegetation covering them.
