Arles Arelate Amfitheatre

The Arles Amphitheatre  is a Roman amphitheatre in the southern French town of Arles. This two-tiered Roman amphitheatre thrived in Roman times. The pronounced towers jutting out from the top are medieval add-ons. Built in 90 AD, the amphitheatre was capable of seating over 20,000 spectators, and was built to provide entertainment in the form of chariot races and bloody hand-to-hand battles. Today, it draws large crowds for bullfighting during the Feria d’Arles as well as plays and concerts in summer.
