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.

Amazing Roman theater, best preserved acoustics in Europe. Tickets include a visit to the museum, totally worth it especially on a rainy winter day! The audio guide is great - learned so much and the rooms behind the amphitheater are an incredible learning experience!

Le bâtiment même est superbe et impressionnant. Il vaut absolument un détour.
Notre visite a été complètement gâchée par escape game qui normalement devrait l'animer (surtout pour les enfants). Mal expliqué, indices introuvables sans aides, matériel qui ne fonctionne pas, tarif trop cher pour ce qui est proposé (20 euros en plus des billets d'entrée).
Conseil: profitez pleinement du théâtre, escape game ne vaut absolument pas le coup.
