Visits to the Ancient Theatre

This historic site holds a fascinating story: it was the farmer Ambrogio Nucerino, known as Enzechetta, who discovered this ancient treasure in 1738 while digging a well. Buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD, the Ancient Theater was the first monument of the Vesuvian sites to be unearthed.

Through Bourbon tunnels and over 20 meters underground, visitors can imagine where spectators of the time sat in the cavea, depending on their social standing, where actors performed, and where guests of honor sat. This time machine captured the attention of cultured travelers on the Grand Tour of the 18th and 19th centuries, and also served as a refuge during World War II.

Visit Scheduling

Visits to the Ancient Theatre are organized twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, with groups of 10 people and six appointments scheduled between 9.30:16.30 and XNUMX:XNUMX. Guided tours in English are also planned. Tickets can be purchased online through the dedicated website or directly at the Park ticket office.
