Ancient Theatres are one of the most extraordinary legacies that past civilizations have left us. From a cultural standpoint, this is because of the importance that these monuments had in the social life of each past community; from the environmental standpoint, because of the enormous skill that went into controlling the territorial and urban impact of these ‘structures’; and finally, from a ‘technological’ and functional standpoint, because of the excellence of their internal distribution patterns and acoustics, which is hard to equal even today.
