Volterra Italy, Roman Theater

Volterra is a classic Tuscan hill town, sitting high above the farmland below and encircled by a 13th century stone wall. Just below the wall in this particular shot you can see the old Roman Theater, which was built in about 10 BC but cut off from the city by the wall and soon forgotten. Eventually it would be covered in garbage, serving as the town dump, until being rediscovered in the 1950s.
