Places to see in ( Arles - France ) Cryptoportiques
In Ancient Roman architecture a cryptoporticus (from Greek crypta and porticus) is a covered corridor or passageway. The usual English is cryptoportico. The cryptoportico is a semi-subterranean gallery whose vaulting supports portico structures aboveground and which is lit from openings at the tops of its arches.
On sloping sites the open side of a cryptoporticus is often partially at ground level and supports a structure such as a forum or Roman villa, in which case it served as basis villae. It is often vaulted and lit by openings in the vault. In the letters of Pliny the Younger, the term is used as a synonym of crypt. The shade and semi-excavated site of a cryptoportico provided cool and moderated temperatures useful for storage of perishables, while it offered a level and slightly raised podium for the superstructure.
The cryptoporticus of Coimbra, the old Roman city of Aeminium, was built to create an artificial platform over which the city's Forum Page could be built. Later, the Bishop's Palace (still standing today and serving as a museum) was built using the platform that could have been created by the structure thus preserving it in perfect condition.
The cryptoporticus of Arles, dating from the 1st century BC was built as foundation for the forum, which has since been replaced by the Chapel of the Jesuit College and the City Hall. Three double, parallel tunnels arranged in the form of a U are supported by fifty piers. Masons' marks on the stonework indicate that it was built by Greeks, probably from Marseille. Similar structures in Narbonne, Reims, and Bavay were used as granaries. The cryptoporticus at Arles is, however, too damp for prolonged storage and may have served as a barracks for public slaves. The cryptoporticus of Arles is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, together with other Roman buildings of the city, as part of the Arles, Roman and Romanesque Monuments group.

Places to see in ( Arles - France )
Arles is a city on the Rhône River in the Provence region of southern France. It's famed for inspiring the paintings of Van Gogh, which influenced the contemporary art displayed at the Fondation Vincent Van Gogh. Once a provincial capital of ancient Rome, Arles is also known for many remains from that era, including Arles Amphitheatre (les Arènes d'Arles), now hosting plays, concerts and bullfights.
Roman treasures, shady squares and plenty of Camarguais culture make Arles a seductive stepping stone into the Camargue. And if its colourful sun-baked houses evoke a sense of déjà vu, it’s because you’ve seen them already on a Van Gogh canvas – the artist painted 200-odd works around town, but sadly his famous little ‘yellow house’ on place Lamartine, which he painted in 1888, was destroyed during WWII. Happily, the Fondation Vincent van Gogh brings in at least one work each season for its annual exhibition.
Arles is a town and municipality in the region Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (PACA), department of Bouches-du-Rhône, in the southeast of France. It is mainly known for its association with Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh, who produced some of his most famous paintings here. It is also a very pleasant town on the boards of the Rhône river with some well-preserved Roman buildings, including an amphitheatre that is still used for bullfighting. Arles is also the perfect base for exploring the surrounding area, which boasts popular tourist destinations like Avignon, Nîmes and the Camargue.
Arles was founded on a hill on the east bank of the river Rhône, which just south of the city branches into two rivers, the Grand Rhône and Petit Rhône, that together encircle the marshlands and lagoons of the Camargue region, and provide access to the Mediterranean Sea. Because of its strategic position, it was already settled around 800 BC by the Ligurians, later followed by the Gauls, the Phoenicians and eventually Romans, who conquered the south of Gaul in 123 BC. Arles was called Arelate in Roman times and was an important harbour town with the southernmost bridge over the river Rhône, but it was at first overshadowed by the originally Greek port of Massalia (Marseille).
The old town centre is very pretty, with winding streets full of old houses built in grey limestone with pastel-coloured shutters. It is worth just exploring the sidestreets, where you can suddenly run into a nice little restaurant or shop. It is also worth taking a stroll on the quays of the river Rhône to enjoy the view. The main tourist drags are the area around the amphitheatre and the Place du Forum, but the tourist trade is relatively modest, although Place du Forum gets very noisy in the evening. The main streets surrounding the old town are very busy with traffic during the day, especially the Boulevard des Lices, since the major bridge over the Rhône can only be reached from there. The old neighbourhoods of La Roquette (west of town centre) and Trinquetaille (on the other bank of the river) are left largely unexplored by tourists.
