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.

2000 Jahre überstanden und noch gut erhalten- von unseren Bauwerken wird wohl nach solch einer Zeit nichts mehr erhalten sein.
Lohnenswert.

Sublime lieu , incontournable de cette ville , une visite à audio guide est prévu dans le tarif très raisonnable de 11,50 €. Je n'ai pas trouvé le point numéro 10 avec mes amis , mais ça n'enlève, rien à la qualité de la visite. À cette période de l'année, le lieu est très peu fréquenté et très calme. Le musée peut se visiter avant ou après. Prévoir une demi-journée pour la totale
