Théâtre antique de Mandeure

Sit in the centre of this vast 142m diameter circus, which once had four tiers of seating. Imagine 17,000 spectators around you. The clamour of the public rises up, comparable to that which animated the Colosseum in Rome at the same time. Across the millennia, the emotion is there, alive. Associated with a temple that faced it, the building leaning against the hill was an integral part of a sacred enclosure, an important place of ancient pilgrimage. The site is accessible all year round. More than 5,000 pieces extracted from the site are kept in the Montbéliard Castle Museum.

Occasional events throughout the year (see the calendar at www.paysdemontbeliard-tourisme.com).
