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.

Lieu remarquable de par son histoire et son architecture. A faire absolument avec un audio guide. Mention spéciale pour Sarah Bernhardt: elle nous attendait au détour de notre promenade et nous avons été captivés par sa représentation. Elle nous a raconté sa vie, passionnante. Bravo à cette jeune actrice qui nous a fait passer un très bon moment!! Le seul point négatif de cette visite: demander à l'accueil d'être plus aimables et souriantes surtout lorsqu'il n'y pas grand monde à la caisse, on a l'impression de les deranger...

입장료가 성인기준 13유로입니다. 가격은 좀 있지만 잘 보존된 고대 극장인점을 감안할때, 방문할 가치가 있었습니다.

Lieu magnifique et emblématique des sites romain français. À voir absolument! Et si vous avez l'occasion d'y voir un spectacle ou un concert c'est encore mieux !
