Description

(French: Arènes d'Arles)

I LOVED walking into this arena, I just sat there and imagined the events taking place 2000 years ago.  Obviously it has had many face-lifts, but it was still awesome :-)

The ampitheatre was built in 90 AD.  The structure was used as a quarry following the fall of the Roman Empire and lost much, including the third tier of arcades.  The square towers (one on each cardinal direction) were added in the 6th century when it was used as a fortification by the town. 

Arles, France.
