In comparison with other ancient Roman theaters, I thought this semi-Circle was about 2/3 the diameter of, say, the one in Merida, Spain. This one was discovered around 1860 and the entire theater...

The roman theatre site is surprisingly large and gives a good impression of the original theatre. The stage area is particularly impressive.

Great to visit this seasoned piece of Roman history. Looks lovely covered in snow, and even though some of it was closed to the public it was still a nice walk

The ruins are remarkable for the grandeur of the building and the stunning natural backdrop of the snow-capped Alps. Admission costs €8. (April 2023) and the same ticket is valid for two other archaeological sites in Aosta (the paleochistian church of San Lorenzo and the forum cryptopoticus) plus the archaeological museum.

Amazing place to visit it is so beautiful and old, very easy to get to and located right in the center of aosta. This is a must visit and if you come here during you have to visit it during the night for the amazing Christmas market inside.

Aosta is a charming place with some amazing Roman remains. Our visit was swift but we intend to return for a leisurely visit to explore in more detail. Lovely shops as well.

It is very interesting and just around the corner from the Tourist Information Office. It was especially beautiful during the Christmas Market. Large site.
