The Colosseum of Arles was built during the reign of the Roman Empire at the end of the 1st century AD. The arena was transformed into a fortress in the Middle Ages and rebuilt as an arena in the 19th century. It is now a temporary bullring from Easter in the spring to September, and is also used as an opera house and a theater for outdoor theater. The entire arena is oval, with a long diameter of 136 meters, a short diameter of 107 meters, and a height of 21 meters. It is a three-story structure surrounded by 60 arches. Although it is a building in the Roman era, the style of classical Greek architecture can be seen from pillars, decorations, stone carvings, etc. Climb to the tower above the entrance for a view of the ancient city of Arles, the Rhone River and the surrounding mountains. The current Arles Arena is famous for bullfights and is still in use today. It is one of the few places in France where you can see bullfights. This is very attractive to bullfighting fans, and it is often hard to get a ticket. In addition to bullfights, plays and concerts are also held here in summer.
