Amphitheater of Nîmes
Arènes de Nîmes
The Arena (Arènes) of Nîmes is a Roman amphitheatre built around the end of the 1st century AD in Nîmes, southern France. An elliptical stone stadium with two superposed levels of arcades and an attic, it originally seated tens of thousands and contained radial vomitoria, vaulted corridors and a sand arena. It later served as a fortress and residential quarter before being cleared and restored in the 19th century; it remains an active venue for spectacles today.

What Amphitheater of Nîmes looked like in its prime.
An elongated elliptical stone amphitheatre with a 21 m high outer wall composed of two superposed orders of 60 arcades, the façade punctuated by engaged Doric pilasters and columns and crowned by an attic with stone consoles for awning masts. Constructed of warm pale limestone, the outer ring shows regular radial bays; through the arches one glimpses tiered stone seating cutting into the slope and vaulted access galleries beneath. The arena is a flat, sandy oval with internal corridors and subterranean chambers below.
