One of the surprising things about this place is that it was identified relatively recently (something more than a century ago), and unearthed only a few decades ago; it had been underground for centuries after having been built at the time of Augustus emperor. Small but well proportioned and aesthetically beautiful. A good part of the stage is still below the ground as the adjacent Sant’ Agata church was built upon it a thousand of years ago; but drawings of it had been made already in the XVI century, and it was on that basis that it was identified at the end of XIX century…… luckily Italians are good at destroying but also at recording!
The damage it underwent during Roman times due an earthquake is still visible in the crack across the terraces, part of which were rebuilt using concrete.
Old but still working….. in summer time performances are held here during the well known Spoleto’s ‘Festival of Two Worlds’.

Sure, there are lots of bigger Roman arenas, but we found this one to be almost as interesting as the larger one in Nîmes. A Roman town had the amenities of Rome's larger cities on a smaller scale.
If you can, catch an evening performance there, but rent extra cushions to be comfortable. Depending on the weather, also bring something to keep you warm, just in case.
Wander through the access tunnels and stairs. Sit in the arena and imagine events once held here. Then visit the excellent museum that this is attached to it.

Go to La Rocca first ( the fort up high) and buy the multi entry ticket there. For one extra Euro it gets you entry into five other awesome museums and churches. The Roman Theatre is one of the ones included
The Theater was alright but the museum inside was awesome. Tons of artifacts going back to the first and second centuries

. . . so how could we not visit. It is part of the well organized and arranged museum of Roman times in Spoleto and we spent a good couple of hours visiting - time flew and we were surprised how much we'd seen.

This small Roman theater is well preserved and located on the grounds of the Spoleto archeological museum. The museum itself is small was has several well preserved and presented roman artifacts. There are large scale photos of areas of Spoleto and associated history. There is a modest fee for entry. The Teatro and museum was across a small plaza from the Tourist office in the southern portion of the Town.

Armed with a map we walked in circles around this sight..... Three times. However we were unable to find an entrance. We tried several potential entry points without success. There was signage directing us to a certain entry.... But when we got there.... No signage and no open doors.....eventually we gave up and went elsewhere.
I hope that you have better luck.

I think I loved the sites in Spoleto so much more than other places just because of the lack of crowds. I was mostly alone in the Teatro Romano most of the time, including the connected museo. I was able to walk up and sit in the stands for a while. It was a beautiful morning!

This can be seen and photographed from the nearby street but you will need to enter the archaeology museum to actually walk and sit in it.

The teatro is behind the former church of St. Agatha, currently housing the National Archaeological Museum, where you gain access. This is located on the west side of Piazza della Libertà where you can view it through an iron fence. You will need to pay admission to museum to see the ruins but you can get a good view from the piazza.

The Roman Theater was built in the second half of the first century BC right inside the city walls. It remained in use until the fourth century. Today it is part of the State Archaeological Museum and is still used for shows and performances…particularly during the festival.
