Arles

The Roman Arena is the most heavily visited tourist attraction in the city of Arles, which is the gateway to the Camargue.

The Arena was built around 1 B.C., or approximately 125 years after the Romans colonized Arles and the Rh�ne Delta. It seated 20,000 spectators on three tiers. Today, the Arena is used for bullfights (see next page), concerts, operas, and theatre performances. It also played a featured role in John Frankenheimer's 1998 action movie Ronin, where Robert De Niro, Jean Reno, and other spies chased each other through ancient passages beneath the stands.)
