This amphitheatre, full of secrets, is one of the oldest in Gaul

Built during the reign of Claudius around 40 AD, this amphitheater, full of secrets, is one of the oldest in Gaul. After having been used as a stone quarry in the Middle Ages, the arenas were in the process of being restored in the 20th century. In spite of the disappearance of the superstructures, the remains give a faithful image of what this amphitheater could have been in its heyday. Some of the objects discovered during excavations can be seen in the archaeological museum.

Site intéressant même s'il ne reste pas grand chose. La taille des arènes indique que Mediolanum était une cité importante. En revanche, je déconseille de payer l'entrée : faite le tour par l'extérieur est largement suffisant.

EXCEPTIONAL! In bad condition, but to see for its unusual environment in a green vegetation, far from the Mediterranean atmospheres sun of Rome, of Leptis Magna, Arles and Nîmes
It is beautifully well preserved and in the city centre. It is right next to the new hospital. A beautiful traces of our history
