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.

Beaucoup d'animations pour découvrir l'histoire et la vie du théâtre à l'époque romaine.
Je conseille la visite virtuelle en 3D pour commencer la visite pour découvrir le théâtre il y a 2000 an, Splendide !... ou encore la visite théâtrale.
Visite audioguidée très bien. Ateliers également.
Compter une bonne demi-journée de visite pour tout faire.
Ce site est à préserver. Bravo !
