Greek Theatre of Siracusa

The Greek theatre of Siracusa is considered one of the great wonders of the ancient history of Greek culture. It is among the greatest, most perfect and best preserved of its kind. The theatre was of vital importance in the life of the city, being, together with that of Athens, one of the key points of the Greek dramaturgy, with many of the classical works being premiered in it. If Athens is the homeland of tragedy, Siracusa will be the homeland of comedy. It was originally built in the 5th century BC, then the work "The Persians" of Esquilo was released, but it became definitive with the subsequent reform of Geron II in the 3rd century BC. In the Roman era, some modifications were made to adapt it to the typology of the Roman theatres, mainly dedicated to circus shows.
