Théâtre gallo-romain de Brion
Théâtre gallo-romain de Brion, Roman theatre ruins in Saint-Germain-d'Esteuil, France.
The Gallo-Roman theatre measures 57 meters in diameter and features limestone masonry walls with alternating rows of bricks on flat terrain.
Built during the 1st century CE, the theatre was abandoned in the 3rd century and later transformed into a stone quarry for medieval construction.
The theatre contained four concentric rings connected by radiating boxes that supported seating for 2,200 spectators during Roman entertainment performances.
The archaeological site stands on a slightly elevated wooded area west of Brion hamlet, accessible through local heritage programs and guided tours.
This structure represents the only known Gallo-Roman theatre in the Aquitaine basin south of the Garonne River.
