The Roman amphitheater of Catania, of which only a small section is visible in the western part of Piazza Stesicoro, is an imposing structure built in the Roman imperial era, probably in the second century, on the northern edge of the ancient city, close to the Montevergine hill which it housed the main nucleus of the town. The area where it stands, now part of the historic center of the city, was once used as a necropolis. It is part of the Greek-Roman archaeological park of Catania. (15 min walking)

The Roman Theater and the Odeon are set between via Teatro Greco and via Vittorio Emanuele. It is assumed that the construction of the Roman Theater, which could accommodate about 7,000 spectators, dates back to the second century. d.C., and that it was built on a pre-existing Greek structure built in the ancient acropolis of Catania.
