Arles Antique Roman Theatre by davequ
This place is really pretty and peaceful. It feels good to sit in the theatre garden on a sunny day.I was fortunate to have this weather in Oct '01 and in late Sept. '03. This picture is from my first trip.
Just down the street about 100 meters from the Roman arena are these ruins of the Antique Roman Theatre.
Almost 2000 years old, built during the period following Julius Caesar's Gaul conquests, this is a very peaceful place to go sit and relax during the day, especially mid afternoon. Plays and events are still held there at night on occasion.
An even better preserved theatre with it's theater wall intact can be found just a few miles north in the town of Orange.
