Roman Theatre at Bosra, Syria

The Roman Theatre at Bosra (المسرح الروماني ببصرى‎), is a large Ancient Roman theatre in Bosra, in the district of Dar'a in south-western Syria. The Roman theatre of the early third century CE provides visual evidence of the grandeur of the city in classical antiquity as well as the importance of Bosra throughout the Muslim period. Bosra was once one of the main cities of the powerful Nabatean Kingdom, whose abandoned city of Petra is world-famous.

Bosra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, once the capital of the Roman province of Arabia, was an important stopover on the ancient caravan route to Mecca, a 2nd-century Roman theatre, early Christian ruins and several mosques are found within its walls, and all around local people have used for centuries parts of the ruins to build their own houses © Eric Lafforgue www.ericlafforgue.com

Palmyra's Theatre was, until the 1950's, buried beneath the sand, however it has been restored continuously since then. The freestanding stage facade of the theatre itself is designed along the lines of a palace entrance, complete with a royal door and smaller doors on either side. During the Palmyra Festival, which runs from the end of April to the beginning of May, music and dance performances are held in the theatre.
