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.

Prachtig oud theater. Blijkbaar worden er in deze zomer concerten gegeven. Lijkt mij een prachtige beleving! Helaas moesten wij daardoor om 14u het theater verlaten.

Le théâtre antique est un endroit magique pour venir y écouter certains des plus grands artistes internationaux. La programmation est extrêmement variée et toujours qualitative.
Cependant, gros bémol vis-à-vis du prix des bouteilles d'eau et autres....

Il est également question de respecter les normes db en vigueur en France pour que chacun puisse profiter des spectacles sans crainte...

Très chouette visite théâtralisée. L’accueil est souriant et agréable. De la billetterie aux personnes présentes sur le site, l’équipe est charmante!
L’expérience en réalité virtuelle est un plus
À faire sans hésiter
