The Teatre Auditori del Camp de Mart is an open-air theatre, covered with a candle, inspired by the examples of classical Greek theatres. It has a grandstand in the form of an amphitheatre, a rectangular stage and an orchestra pit that can be used as stalls, in a set covered by a sail or tensile structure. It is located in the gardens of the ancient Camp de Mart of the Roman city. Inaugurated in 1970, it is a project by the municipal architect of that time, Manuel Lamich Fontanet. It seems that the project was inspired by the Greek Theater of Epidaurus of the Argolis, in the south of the Peloponnese, a work of the fourth century BC by Polycletus the Younger.
