Once Amazing Tourist Destinations That Have Been Lost to History

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!
