The Globe Theater
Welcome! This site contains estimated blueprints of the Globe Theater in London. These blueprints contain the three major levels of the Globe Theater. Click on any of the levels to see that blueprint, and hover your mouse over various parts of the blueprint to see more information. NOTE: Most or all of the images are from the new Globe built in London. This is because it is easier to identify the parts when there is a color photograph than a predicted sketch.

This is what the Globe Theater looks like from above. The flag on the towers was raised when there was a play. Different color flags meant different plays. Also, although the Globe has 20 sides now, there is not enough information to determine how many sides and how big it was during the time of Shakespeare.
