Virtually intact and even today the performances, the theatre greek, entirely dug into the rock, and the Roman Theater, the third largest after the Coliseum and the Arena di Verona. Among the archaeological emergencies in this park include a group of tombs dating back to Roman imperial Roman Gymnasium of the century, the Ara of Ierone II, nearly two hundred meters long and latomie, stone quarries, in which sometimes prisoners and sentenced were used for forced labour. In Latomia of Paradise, magnificently surrounded by lush vegetation, open the Cave Cordari and Ear of Dionysus, slit in the rock famous for the particularities of expanding out of even the smallest sound and where legend has it that the tyrant Dionysus listen to the complaints of prisoners.
