ABC Rooms In Rome

The Globe Theatre in Rome is a copy of the world famous Elisabethan theatre built in London in 1576.

It rises within the large green area of Villa Borghese and has its main entrance in Largo Aqua Felix (Piazza Siena). The area is closed to traffic, so you can only reach the theatre with a short walking from Viale delle Belle Arti, where is also the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Arts, and the nearby Bioparco (zoological garden in Rome).

The Globe Theatre is entirely built in wood, as the orginal one, and has also the traditional circular shape. It can host up to 1250 people: 420 standing room and 830 seats in the balconies.
