Sabratha. Libya. View of the brilliantly restored theatre which originally dates from 175-200 AD and in its heyday could seat over 5000 spectators. One of the most graceful and impressive of the Roman world, the theatre’s imposing stage towers three storeys high and consists of 108 fluted Corinthian columns. It was destroyed by the massive earthquake of AD365 and painstakingly and beautifully restored by Italian archaeologists between the first and second world wars. Magnificently sited on the water’s edge of the Mediterranean, Sabratha was originally founded as trading post by the Carthaginians around 500 BC. Its importance and wealth attracted settlement by Hellenistic Greeks around the 2nd BC and then by the Romans in whose control the city prospered and in which the ruins seen today are a legacy of. Sabratha is considered one of the most beautiful and spectacular Roman ruined cities in the Mediterranean and is a designated UNESCO World Heritage site.
