A feat of ancient engineering, the Arena of Nîmes is one of the best-preserved amphitheaters – it dates back to 100 AD, just a few years after the Romans built the Colosseum.
Of the 300 still-standing Roman amphitheaters, this is one of the biggest. At the peak of the Roman Empire, up to 24,000 people would gather to watch gladiator battles and animal hunts at Les Arènes de Nîmes, or the Nîmes Arena.
The audio guide will take you on a journey inside the arena - learn about the architecture, the gladiators, and even the history of the bull itself!
Another must-see is the Gladiator's Quarter, which is filled with weapons and gives you a chance to learn about fighting techniques.
Don't miss what this gem of Nîmes has to offer – a chance to experience history up close. Immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere of this ancient monument, and experience its timeless beauty.
