ROMAN AMPHITHEATRE OR ARENAS
A Gallo-Roman amphitheater that has benefited from major restoration work, enhancing its vocation as a performance venue.
Built outside the ramparts in the 1st century BC, this building, one of the oldest amphitheatres in Gaul, could hold twelve thousand spectators, compared to five thousand today. In the centre, a pit in the shape of a cross allowed for all sorts of staging, from gladiatorial combats to wild animal hunts. Important restoration, consolidation and enhancement work have enabled this monument to regain its vocation as a place of entertainment.
