    The two Roman theatres that stood on the Fourvière hillside, one large and one small, were built on the site where Lundunum was founded in 43 BC. The large theatre is the oldest in France. The vestigial remains of a district which housed artisans can also be seen.

    There are 2 ancient theatres atop Fourvière Hill, together with other ruins and a Museum. The large theatre is the most ancient in France, built by order of Augustus from 17 B.C. to 15 B.C. and the size was expanded during the reign of Hadrian.

    Romans colonized this area, long ago, and build a couple of amphitheatres. Archeologists have been studying the remains. You can tour the excavation, and also a museum.

    The Museum of Gallo-Roman Civilization was establish in 1975 although its early conception began back in 1957. It was then that a large part of the Gallo-Roman collection which had been kept at Palais Saint Pierre (Fine Arts Museum) was brought to a small on-site building of the antique theatres of Fourviere. From there a new home was built for the collection amongst the historic theatres of the archeological park. The museum displays coins and weapons as well as artwork and artefacts which replicate the roman past of Lyon.

    • Surprisingly, lyon has not a single Roman theatre, but two of them! The Grand Theatre is the oldest of its kind in France and is still used during summer festivals. The Odeon (the smaller one) is more famous for its floor.
