"Treasures of the World – Heritage of Humanity" is the title of a television series that, through several hundred films, presents culture-loving viewers with sites from every continent and across centuries. Despite the diversity of each site, all have one thing in common: they have been declared UNESCO World Heritage Sites. One episode of the series – which I highly recommend – also focuses on ARLES, a city with a rich history and a wealth of cultural heritage. The film accompanying this highlight (although exclusively in German) can be viewed in the ARD Media Library as episode 124 of "Treasures of the World – Heritage of Humanity" at => https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/schaetze-der-welt/arles-frankreich-folge-124/swr/Y3JpZDovL3N3ci5kZS83MTc1OTMw

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 Roman theatre, which was completed around 12 BC. It later disappeared from memory after its stones were dismantled and reused in the Middle Ages. A monastery was then built on the site, and the two columns that are still standing today adorn its courtyard. In the 19th century, however, it was given back its original function and today it serves as a venue for renowned festivals.
