The original Globe Theatre, built in 1599, was built in Southwark, south of the River Thames across from the City of London. The replica Globe is also in Southwark not far from the same place. They could not build it exactly on the same place because another historically significant building has been built over the foundations of the original theatre. Some of these foundations were revealed when they were rebuilding the parking lot.

No it wasn't. The ancient Greeks and Romans built very effective outdoor theatres many of which are in use today, 1500 years and more before the Globe was built in 1599. But the Globe was not even the oldest theatre in Britain which was intended as a theatre not just an innyard. The Theatre in Shoreditch, built 1576, was the first. Newington Butts, The Curtain, The Rose, The Swan and the Blackfriars all were built before The Globe.
