Roman Heritage of Arles

Arles contains a dense concentration of Roman and Romanesque monuments, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. This collection includes the 1st-century amphitheatre and theatre, the underground cryptoporticus of the forum, and the Alyscamps necropolis. Medieval additions like the Church of Saint Trophime showcase the city's transition to Romanesque architecture.
