ROMAN THEATRE

Carved into the rock on one of the hillsides where the castle stands, it is a vestige of the Roman era and was built in the first century. With a capacity of up to 4,000 people on its three rows of terraces, it was renovated in the middle of the 20th century to offer open-air shows. Declared a National Monument in 1896, it hosts various artistic and cultural events, music, dance and the Sagunt A Escena festival, a prestigious theater festival (www.saguntum.es).
