About
- Theatre from the early 1st century AD, from the time of Augustus
- Found by chance in 1951 while landscaping the entrance of the old Casa de la Cultura; at first it was thought to be a gate in the city wall
- Visitor centre with finds and an audiovisual, and seating you can walk on
- From Calle Alcazabilla you can see all of it for free, with the Alcazaba behind
Good to know
- It's free: pop in even if you're in a hurry, you can see it in half an hour
- Closed on Mondays
- At night, calle Alcazabilla, with the theatre and the Alcazaba lit up, is one of Málaga's prettiest scenes
