Orange

The Roman Theatre of Orange, a UNESCO World Heritage site in France, is one of the best-preserved ancient theaters from the 1st century CE. Built into a hillside, its grand stage wall and tiered seating once hosted performances for thousands. The structure showcases Roman engineering and acoustic design at its finest. Its intricate carvings and robust stonework reflect the empire’s cultural influence. Today, it stands as a testament to antiquity’s architectural legacy. This site offers a striking glimpse into the past.
