Théâtre antique d'Aix-en-Provence, Roman theatre ruins in Aix-en-Provence, France.
The ancient theatre spans 100 meters in diameter, featuring thirteen rows of partially excavated seats and circulation galleries within urban fortifications.
Discovered in 2004 by the Archaeological Mission of Aix-en-Provence, the theatre dates back to the Julio-Claudian period between 14-68 CE.
The structure served as a central entertainment venue for mime and pantomime performances, while also maintaining connections to emperor worship.
The archaeological site remains buried since 2007 due to budget restrictions, with no current public access to the ancient structure.
The theatre remained hidden beneath a monastery garden for centuries, which protected its structures from destruction and material repurposing.
