Lugdunum - Théâtres Romains de Fourviére

This is the oldest Roman theatre in France, built by order of Augustus between 17 and 15 BC and expanded during the reign of Hadrian. It was built next to the Fourvière hill, which stood right in the center of the city in Roman times. The theatre features steep audience galleries, a decorated floor, and the foundation of a large stage. The Fourvière Roman Theatre is the oldest Roman theatre in France, with a history dating back to the 1st century BC. Construction began under Emperor Augustus, and today the theatre remains remarkably well preserved. The complex includes three significant Roman ruins, offering visitors a fascinating glimpse into the ancient world.
