Fun and entertainment Arleuf

Discovered in 1971, this Gallo-Roman theatre is 45 m long and 40 m wide. Built at the end of the 2nd century AD, it must have been abandoned in the 4th century. The cavea is 6 m deep and is dominated by six terraces forming earthen steps in a circular arc. A small orchestra, with a radius of more than 9 m and an arc surrounding two entrances, completes the ensemble. Close to the village of Arleuf, this rural theatre could accommodate 500 to 800 people. This building with multiple roles testifies to the strong settlement of the region at the time.
