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.

Magnifique endroit que j ai pu redécouvrir. Une acoustique exceptionnelle dans un lieu chargé d'histoire . Juste une chose a savoir les marches sont hautes et l amphi est très haut. Les WC sont en bas . Donc pensez y avant . A déconseiller pour le spersonnes qui ont des difficultés à monter et descendre les escaliers.

Nous avons découvert la beauté du théâtre antique à travers un son et lumières incroyable, à la nuit tombée. Un spectacle féerique qui permet de profiter encore plus de la beauté du lieu. Un instant hors du temps! Un incontournable ! #les dieux s'en mêlent
