Globe Theatre

The Globe-Theatre was a round open air theatre in London, located on the south side of the river Thames. It is associated with William Shakespeare, since it was built by his theatre company, the Lord Chamberlain's Men in 1599. However, the first Globe Theatre got destroyed in 1613 and was rebuilt at the same place.

In 1642, due to the Civil War, the theatres were closed. In 1644, it was finally torn down and flats where built where the Globe Theatre had once been, leaving only parts of its fundament behind as a trace that it had once been there.

Finally, in 1997, the Globe Theater has been reconstructed. But not at the old site.
