Théâtre antique d'Alauna, Roman theatre in Valognes, France
The Alauna theatre features a horseshoe shape with a diameter of 72 meters, built using small limestone blocks from local quarries.
The theatre was constructed during the second half of the 1st century and remained active until the late 3rd century CE.
The structure combines elements of both a theatre and an arena, reflecting the entertainment preferences of northern Gallic cities.
The archaeological remains lie under meadows at the eastern limits of Valognes, with guided tours available through the AAA association.
Five vomitoria connect to the semi-circular cavea and elliptical orchestra, differing from traditional Roman theatre layouts.
