Sabratha Theater, UNESCO, Libya
The most spectacular site in Sabratha is the theater probably built during the reign of the Emperor Commodus. The theater holds three-story backdrop of columns. The facade behind the stage is one of the most exceptional in the Roman world. The three tiers consist of alcoves and 108 fluted Corinthian columns that rise over 20m above the stage. The stage is 43 meter long and nearly 9 meters wide. The seats climb sharply for 5000 people even today it can seat 1500 people.
