In the 16th century a palace was built by the powerful Orsini family in the caves of the theatre.

This tour was a disaster that never happened. The meeting instructions were vague and confusing and we went to the wrong place. We waited for the tour to come to the place called out in the tour description and they never appeared. Awful.
