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.

Tickets should be aquired from the Museum in front of the Theatre and include visits to both (11.5 euro). The Theatre is not very large but tall so that the sounds can be heared well. The statue of Augustus is well preserved and is impressing!

It was a little boring, there wasn't much to see.
However, the digital guides were great and interesting. It was going under construction so I couldn't see everything.

Venue pour l’Odysee Sonore dans ce magnifique lieu qu’est le Théâtre Antique, le spectacle n’est cependant pas du tout à la hauteur. Bien que le mapping soit joli et la bande son très chouette il n’y a aucun fil conducteur, pas d’histoire, on ne comprend pas ou on veut nous emmener. L’intérêt de se déplacer est très mal exploité et n’apporte finalement rien de plus à l’expérience. A retravailler !
