Ancient Theatre of FourvièreThe ancient theatre in Lyon is the oldest in France, dating back
to the year 17 BC. Built by the Emperor Augustus, it was originally
used for theatre, pageants, musical shows, and poetry competitions.
While much of its rich decorations are gone, decorated floors of
inlaid marble and porphyry are still visible. Now it is primarily a
tourist site, but the Nuits de Fourvière festival is held there
every year. Nearby you can also see the ruins of a temple dedicated
to the goddess Cybele.
