Theaters Nièvre

Established on the location of the castle of the castle of the Dukes of Nevers and designed by the Swiss departmental engineer Lebrun, this Italian theatre, also known as "Petit Théâtre", presents a stone facade of the surroundings of Nevers, rubble walls, a brick hall, a brick frame, an oak blanket, a slate blanket and a iron lock. Renovated throughout the th century, it offers a wonderful décor for spectators attending the various shows offered by the city's cultural service.

Discovered in 1971, this Gallo-Roman theatre is 45 m long and 40 m wide. Built at the end of the 2nd century AD, it must have been abandoned in the 4th century. The cavea is 6 m deep and is dominated by six terraces forming earthen steps in a circular arc. A small orchestra, with a radius of more than 9 m and an arc surrounding two entrances, completes the ensemble. Close to the village of Arleuf, this rural theatre could accommodate 500 to 800 people. This building with multiple roles testifies to the strong settlement of the region at the time.
