The Roman Theater - Teatro tempio di Monte S.Nicola a Pietravairano/cinematic drone video 4k

The Temple Theater of Monte San Nicola in Pietravairano, in the province of Caserta, is one of the most beautiful and rare examples of temple-theater type installations. At a height of 410 meters, an ancient sanctuary was identified consisting of a temple and a theater, located on two terraces at different heights, whose scenography is accentuated even more by the extraordinary panorama. On the upper terrace we find the temple, a rectangular building consisting of an antechamber that allows access to three very similar rooms where, probably, the statues of the deities worshiped in this place were located. Of the theater, located about twenty meters below, the semicircular cavea, obtained by exploiting the natural slope of the hill, and the scaena (the structure where the scenography was represented) located along the southern edge of the terrace, preserved by four turrets. We can say that this construction is the perfect synthesis between the religious spirit, represented by the temple that stood on top of the theater, and the spirit of beauty, represented by the panorama and theatrical performances. A philosophy that certainly reflects the very strong cultural influences of Magna Graecia. The road to reach it is a bit challenging, as you have to go up the hill on foot along not very comfortable paths.
