| Description |
This park in Arles is Jardin d'Ete. View of <a href="http://www.arles-guide.com/arles_tourism/arles_monuments/arles_roman_theater" rel="noreferrer nofollow">The Roman Theatre</a> from the garden. Would later see inside it during our walking tour of Arles. Arles Roman Theater (Théâtre Antique d'Arles in French) was built in the time of Augustus and, with seating for 8,000 on 33 tiers of steps, was as large as the theater in Orange. In the early Middle Ages the theater was used as a quarry, and with the material it provided the town wall was erected. Of the rear wall of the stage only a few stumps of pillars and two more or less complete columns remain. Since the theater is now used again during the summer it is protected on the outside by screens and the interior is somewhat spoiled by the necessary technical apparatus. Most of the relics brought to light during excavation can be seen in the Arles Museum of Antiquity - the most important of these is the "Venus of Arles", a representation of the goddess Diana, which was discovered near a fountain in 1651 and is now in the Louvre in Paris. The Roman Theater has been listed as World Heritage Sites since 1981. Arles Roman Theater is now a monument to visit and a place of concerts and events like during the "Rencontres d'Arles". |
