One of the most remarkable Italian-style theaters in our region, by royal decree of August 10, 1825, Charles X approved the acquisition of a plot of land and a church owned by the Dominicans (15th century) for the construction of an auditorium.
Classified as a historic monument, inaugurated in 1828, the municipal theater was completely destroyed by a violent fire on the night of April 16, 1884. In 1887, reconstruction began. The facade was completely rebuilt, and a vast, deep stage was built Above the red curtain was inscribed Virgil's well-known phrase put into the mouth of a shepherd: "Deus nobis haec otia fecit". "God has made this leisure for us. "This perfectly laid-out hall, with its excellent acoustics, rivaled the region's great halls. Following the restoration work, the main façade was adorned with a pediment representing a lyre supported by two angels, the work of Tarasconnais sculptor Jean-Barnabé AMY (1895)
