The theater, which can be dated around the mid-third century BC, is situated on the hill opposite to the temple, about 440 meters high. Seven wedges divides the seats of the spectators. The separations are done in travertine. The horizontal division of the theater (diazoma) enabled the shift of viewers from one section to another of the theater. The upper zone is half-destroyed and very little remains, even the scene, that according to experts was decorated with columns and pillars. The theater could accommodate over 3000 people.
