Inns were built so that there were buildings on a rectangle on four sides of an open yard, accessible through a gate in one wall. There were often balconies looking out over the courtyard. Travellers could bring their coaches or horses into the courtyard and have them tended to without interference from outside. Some modern motels are built on a similar plan.
Inn courtyards made natural theatres, because they had light from above, a controlled entrance, and good visibility from the balconies as well as from the ground. They were the models on which the first playhouses were built.
