Arles Amphitheatre

Arènes d'Arles

The Arles Amphitheatre is a Roman oval amphitheatre in Arles, southern France, built around 80–90 AD to host large spectacles. It measures roughly 136 by 109 metres with two levels of arcades surrounding an elliptical arena and a ring of stone seating served by galleries and staircases. Originally used for chariot races and gladiatorial combat, it remains a large, walkable monument restored for modern public events.

As it stood in AD 90

What Arles Amphitheatre looked like in its prime.

An oval Roman amphitheatre of pale Provençal limestone, 136 by 109 metres, with two superimposed rings of round-headed arcades (sixty travées), a missing later attique originally crowning the façade, and radial rows of stone bleachers descending to a central sandy arena. The exterior presents a repeating rhythm of arches; inside are vaulted corridors, vomitoria and stone staircases feeding the tiers. In its prime the arena was encircled by a low podium wall and wooden fittings for spectacles.
