The «Theater Augusta Raurica» was built by the Romans around 80 AD and is the best-preserved Roman amphitheater north of the Alps. It was a multifunctional building with a circular arena and a small stage building and was therefore used for both amphitheater games and stage performances. Today it is a museum and is home to various cultural programs in a historical setting during the summer months, including the literary spectacle, the Roman festival and «the movement arena».

Giebenacherstrasse 17, 4302 Augst BL (Switzerland)

During the festival, the central part of Giebenacherstrasse around the museum and theater is closed and the parking spaces P2, P3 and P4 are available to all visitors. From each of these parking spaces it is a short 3-5 minute walk to the «Theater Augusta Raurica».
