About

The Teatro Gebel Hamed (English: Gebel Hamed Theatre) is a cinema and performance space in Erice, Sicily, housed in the 16th-century former Church of Saints Rocco and Sebastiano. Its name recalls the medieval Arabic name for Monte Erice, recorded in sources such as the 12th-century traveller and geographer Ibn Jubayr as Jabal Hamid (Arabic: جبل حامد), often rendered in European sources as Gebel Hamed.
