The ancient Roman theaters are among the most important remains of Roman period still visible nowadays, bearing witness to a time of greatness of "Lugdunum", as the city was named in those times. Fourvière Hill also offers a unique panoramic view of the city, where we can understand the strategical location of Lyon, not only as one of the most important Roman colonies, but also as the "Capital of the Gauls".
