35. The Original Globe Theater, London
Back in the 1500s when Shakespeare was alive and popular in London, his plays were usually found at the Southward Globe Theatre, a theatre owned by Shakespeare’s playing company. It was constructed in 1599 and was the place to be for a Shakespeare play.
Tragically, the theatre was destroyed in a fire in 1613. But not to worry! It was then rebuilt in 1614… and demolished in 1644. Real reassuring. It is a shame to have lost these to history, but fortunately a modern theatre named Shakespeare’s Globe was built as a reconstruction in the same location as the original and opened in 1997. So there’s something to see!
