Travel Arles, France - Visit Arles Amphitheatre
Take a tour of the Roman built Arles Amphitheatre in Arles, France -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats.
Hi, I'm Naomi and I'm very excited to show you the world's greatest attractions.
In the midst of the small town of Arles, France is an unexpected taste of Rome.
The Amphitheatre has been a central part of the town for over 2,000 years.
In Roman times, it was the scene of gladiator battles, races and other sporting events.
In the medieval ages, the Amphitheatre became a fortress, and a small town grew within it.
In the early 1800's, this amazing and ancient structure was restored to its former state.
The Amphitheatre is a marvel of antiquity, well worth the trip.
Thank you for watching our travel video series. See you next time.

The Arles Amphitheatre is a Roman amphitheatre in the southern French town of Arles. This two-tiered Roman amphitheatre is probably the most prominent tourist attraction in the city of Arles, which 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.
The building measures 136 m (446 ft) in length and 109 m (358 ft) wide, and features 120 arches. It has an oval arena surrounded by terraces, arcades on two levels (60 in all), bleachers, a system of galleries, drainage system in many corridors of access and staircases for a quick exit from the crowd. It was obviously inspired by the Colosseum in Rome (in 72-80), being built slightly later (in 90). The amphitheatre was not expected to receive 25,000 spectators, the architect was therefore forced to reduce the size and replace the dual system of galleries outside the Colosseum by a single annular gallery. This difference is explained by the conformation of the land. This temple of the games housed gladiators and hunting scenes for more than four centuries.
With the fall of the Empire in the 5th century, the amphitheatre became a shelter for the population and was transformed into a fortress with four towers (the southern tower is not restored). The structure encircled more than 200 houses, becoming a real town, with its public square built in the centre of the arena and two chapels, one in the centre of the building, and another one at the base of the west tower.
This new residential role continued until the late 18th century, and in 1825 through the initiative of the writer Prosper Mérimée, the change to national historical monument began. In 1826, expropriation began of the houses built within the building, which ended by 1830 when the first event was organized in the arena – a race of the bulls to celebrate the taking of Algiers.

Les Arènes construction romaine construites vers 80 ap. J.-C. / 90 ap. J.-C., -L'amphithéâtre d'Arles est le monument le plus important de l'ancienne colonie romaine qu'il nous est permis d'admirer, quelque 2 millénaires après son édification. Son architecture est entièrement conçue en rapport avec sa vocation de lieu à grands spectacles, accueillant un nombreux public. Les arènes s'inspirent du Colisée de Rome avec un système d'évacuation par de nombreux couloirs d'accès, une scène centrale de forme elliptique entourée de gradins, des arcades, ici sur deux niveaux, le tout pour une longueur totale de 136 m..Cet amphithéâtre romain est classé monument historique dès 1840 sur l'initiative de l'écrivain Prosper Mérimée et en 1981, inscrit au Patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO.
Le théâtre antique d'Arles a été construit à la fin du Ier S. av. J.-C., sous le règne de l'empereur Auguste, juste après la fondation de la colonie romaine. Commencé vers 40/30 av. J.-C., il fut achevé vers l'an 12 av. J.-C. devenant ainsi l'un des tout premiers théâtres en pierre du monde romain. Le théâtre antique d'Arles fait partie des monuments inscrits à la liste de 1840 dressée par Prosper Mérimée. Depuis 1981, il figure sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l'humanité établie par l'UNESCO.
