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.

je n'étais pas venu depuis un concert de Téléphone il y a plus de 30 ans. le théâtre est toujours aussi majestueux et féerique. l'endroit est magique et nous transporte dans l'antiquité.

un superbe site à voir absolument si l'on passe par Orange ! c'est un magnifique théâtre antique, le seul qui possède encore son mur de scène comme autrefois avec la statue d'Auguste encore en place. c'est impressionnant et grandiose, inoubliable pour les enfants. en faisant le tour panoramique, on en prend plein la vue !
