A Roman theater steeped in history, converted into housing for refugees from the Wars of Religion in the century.
This Roman theater is the best preserved in the world because it has kept its stage wall with the original elevation (103 m wide by 37 m high and 1.80 m thick). Built during the reign of Augustus in the first century, it was immediately a very popular place. When the Empire declined, the Theater followed suit. It was closed in 391, because Christianity forbade any representation of plays without a religious character. In the 16th century, it was transformed into houses for refugees from the wars of religion.

However, the digital guides were great and interesting. It was going under construction so I couldn't see everything.
