    A very beautiful old town with many lovely shops and restaurants. The absolute highlight is the historic arena with a capacity of 20,000, where events are still held today.

      The Place de la République is surrounded by buildings in a variety of styles and eras: the town hall, completed in 1676, the Renaissance-style bell tower, the 17th-century Sainte-Anne church and the Saint-Trophime church with its 12th-century cloister. Around the square you will find a variety of delightful shops, including several bookstores, cafés and cozy restaurants.

        On the website for the television series “Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity” - which I can recommend without reservation - it says: “Roman culture and Romanesque heritage shape the cityscape and history of Arles. Arles was the second largest city in the Roman Empire. Half a century later, Arles developed into a religious center. But Arles is also the city of Vincent van Gogh. He moved to Arles in February 1888. This is where he created his most famous works.”

        The film about ARLES (in German) can be viewed in the ARD media library at => ardmediathek.de/video/schaetze-der-welt/arles-frankreich-folge-124/swr/Y3JpZDovL3N3ci5kZS83MTc1OTMw
