The grand-looking building that houses the Civic Theatre is in a typically late 19th Century design. Work started on the building in 1857 and was completed 15 years later by architects, Luigi Catalani and Achille Marchi. Originally it had several stages and seating for around 250 people but it has since been modified and now comprises various halls. There is a wonderful marble staircase which leads from the entrance lobby up to the theatre’s stalls.
