The Andromeda Theater is an open-air theater in the area of Santo Stefano Quisquina in the Sicani Mountains of Sicily.
This theater was built by a pastor-artist named Lorenzo Reina, who created a circular stage and seats in a panoramic area of the city, composed of blocks of stone that reproduce the stars of the constellation in number (108) and arrangement of Andromeda (hence the name) .
At the summer solstice, the sun's shadow projected from a disc behind the stage projects a circle that coincides with a circular black space on the stage. Likewise, at sunset, a ray of sunlight passes through the mouth of a sculpture.

It is also called the tallest stone theater in the world as it is located at an altitude of about 900 meters.
