In the heart of Provence, this great theatre of imperial Rome is an exceptional testimony of Roman civilization. The acoustics and structure of the building allowed 9,000 spectators to attend extraordinary performances offered by the city’s edibles. The Ancient Theatre is backed by the Saint Eutrope Hill that overlooks the city. It is the archetype of the theatres built in the province of Narbonnaise at the beginning of the Empire. Damaged in the centuries passed by barbaric attacks and wars of Religion, the Theatre owes its conservation to the abusive construction of houses placed on its wall and its bleachers. Since the nineteenth century, successive restoration campaigns have helped to restore its former appearance.This day is an opportunity to discover 2000 of History.
