The ruins of the Roman city of Sabratha lie on the coast west of Tripoli. While not as impressive as Leptis Magna or Cyrene, Sabratha has one great attraction: its Third Century A.D. theatre.

Extensively restored by the Italians in the 1920s, the theatre is certainly impressive.

The front of the stage is adorned with a number of bas-reliefs.
