Historic Churches and Chapels
Arles' religious architecture spans from the 12th-century Romanesque portals of the UNESCO-listed Church of St. Trophime to the Southern Gothic interiors of Saint Césaire. The collection includes the high-perched Church of our Lady of the Major and the stylistically diverse Saint-Julien Church, which blends Gothic and Baroque elements. These sites showcase the evolution of ecclesiastical design in Provence, featuring ancient floor tiles, historic chapels, and the circular 'Rotonde' protestant temple.
