| + | The theater in El Jem is really impressive and has definitely retained the atmosphere of its former popularity. The structure was built in the third century. Once the brutal shows could be seen by up to 35,000 people (it took three-quarters of an hour to take up all the seats). It is the third largest of its kind from Roman times, but one of the better preserved. The very good acoustics of this amphitheater make it a venue for various concerts and cultural events. The local dungeons, which can also be visited, were a refuge for all sorts of rebellious citizens, e.g. those producing oil, who did not like (and how!) the amount of taxes imposed. Interesting fact: several shots for Ridley Scott' | ||

| + | The National Theater resembles a large egg in form, and for the rest, it is also sometimes called so. It's a real architectural gem and a sizable cultural center with nearly 6,500 seats. Inside, in addition to the theater, there is an opera house, and concerts are also held, but already what is outside causes an accelerated pulse in the lover of unusual forms. To enter the theater one passes through a corridor under a specially designed water reservoir. Meanwhile, the building' | ||

| + | This theater has actually long been not a place of performances for the spectator, but instead a paradise for the reader. Now it is the books that seduce visitors to this place, not the voices or facial expressions of the actors. But this building, because of its theatrical structure and fresco-decorated balconies, simply had to be included in our list. At El Ateneo Grand Splendid, created in the former Teatro Gran Splendid building, you can spend long hours picking out your favorite readings. However, before books took the audience' | ||

| + | ==== Teatru Manoel in Valletta ==== | ||
| + | Teatru Manoel is one of the oldest operating European theaters. It is nearly 390 years old. Unlike Teatro Amazonas, it was built in a short period of time, less than a year. Its construction was made possible by funds from the Order of the Knights of Malta, and it was intended simply to bring joy to the people (aren' | ||

| + | ==== The amphitheater in Pula ==== | ||
| + | The amphitheater in Pula took as long as sixteen centuries to obtain its final shape. This sixth-largest amphitheater from Roman times is known primarily for the fact that it has retained a very good appearance. The site, which once hosted gladiator fights and knight duels, among other things, now hosts various theatrical performances and musical events. [([[https:// | ||

| + | Despite their history of battles and conquests, the Romans also left behind interesting souvenirs in Gaul that still please the eye of travelers visiting France today. One of them is the amphitheater in Nimes, or Les Arènes, which dates back to the first century AD. In ancient times, it was used to organize chariot races, reenact the course of famous naval battles and, of course, cheer on gladiators, among other things. Later it was used as a fortress but slowly began to decline, to become a refuge for the local poor by the 19th. In the later period, the tradition of bloody spectacles was reached again and the era of bullfighting began in the arena (the bullfighter even has his own statue here). Other events such as concerts are also organized. [([[https:// | ||

| + | ==== Theatre Český Krumlov ==== | ||
| + | Right next to the beautiful Baroque theater within the walls of the castle in Český Krumlov hides another surprise: an "open air" theater with a revolving stage, located in the middle of the castle gardens, not far from the Rococo palace that serves as its backdrop. The idea to use the summer palace and surrounding park as a natural stage was born in 1958 in the minds of artists from the South Bohemian Theater in České Budějovice. [([[https:// | ||
