Arles Amphitheatre

The Arles Amphitheatre (French: Arènes d'Arles) is a Roman amphitheater in southern France. 2-tiered, it's likelyy the most prominent tourist attraction in the city, which thrived in Ancient Rome. The towers jutting out from the top are medieval add-ons.

Built in 90 CE, the amphitheater held over 20,000 spectators of chariot races and bloody hand-to-hand battles. Nowadays, it draws smaller crowds for bullfighting during the Feria d'Arles, as well as plays and concerts in summer.

In 1981, it was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, together with other Roman and medieval buildings of the city, as part of the Arles, Roman and Romanesque Monuments group.
