Archaeologists are hoping that they have found the remains of The Theatre. Built in 1576, the venue is very likely the place where Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice" and "Romeo and Juliet" debuted. Walls of the building were discovered under a vacant garage.

"It's in the right place, it's at the right angle to be a polygonal shape," Jo Lyon said. "It's a pretty high possibility."
