One of the best preserved Roman theatres in the world reveals itself only after conquering the fortress built around it.
When I arrived in Bosra that morning, I decided to leave the best for last and make a circle around the old city before entering the famous Roman amphitheatre. After a visit that exceeded my expectations, I was looking forward to entering the theatre. I had seen the impressive outside walls of the fortress built around it, and finally it was time to go inside. For some reason, entrance was free and before I knew it, I was walking in dark passage ways in the bowels of the fortification. I resisted the temptation to go in too early, and walked up the citadel. Eventually, I ended up walking on top of it, with views over part of Bosra. It was here that I first saw the arches of the theatre above the towers of the fortress.
