Roman Theatre of Orange
Roman Theatre of Orange submitted by w650marion : View of the stage of the Roman Theatre of Orange. (Vote or comment on this photo)
A Roman theatre built early in the 1st century AD and still in use today! One of the best preserved of all Roman theatres, in Vaucluse, Provence. The wall was originally decorated with marble mosaics of many different colours, multiple columns and friezes, and with statues placed in niches. The central niche contains a 3.4m (11ft) statue of the emperor Augustus, although this was most likely a restoration of an original statue of Apollo,

[Site type = Palace only as we don't have a closer one, I thought Palace (of the Arts) was most appropriate - MegP Ed]
