The Théâtre Antique
There are many Roman ruins in and around Orange, including this amphitheater, called the Théâtre Antique, which is still used today for concerts and plays. It has a seating capacity of 10,000, and is considered the best-preserved Roman amphitheater in the world. Its stage wall, the only such Roman structure still surviving in its entirety, is 337 feet (103 meters) wide and 121 feet (37 meters) tall. The statue represents Emperor Augustus, who was born in Orange.
