Facts and practical information

The Arena dello Stretto is a theater of modern construction, in imitation of ancient Greek theaters, located on the Falcomatà waterfront in Reggio Calabria, on the spot where the Porto Salvo Pier stood before the 1908 earthquake.

Reflecting the tradition of the ancient theater, the structure offers a panoramic view, in this case of the Strait of Messina. In addition to the semicircular staircase, the theater has two wide ramps on either side that allow people with disabilities to reach the lower area of the "arena."

The theater is often the venue for the city's most important events, such as musical, theatrical and film events, and seasonal festivals.
