Hiking

The theater was built in the 1st century BC. Built in 500 BC during the reign of Emperor Augustus. At that time it had a diameter of 90 meters. It was built on the side of the Fourvière hill, which overlooks the city. Some of the stones used came from far away, imported from Glanum, a town that used to be in what is now the Bouches-du-Rhône region.
Every summer a very popular music festival takes place there: the Nights of Fourvière.
